Dylan Elizabeth Wolski '24 Graduates Zoo Docent Program

Dylan Elizabeth Wolski '24 graduated from the selective Jr. Docent program at the Staten Island Zoo in July. She completed a 50-hour training program including topics on conservation education, bio-facts about the animals, and care and handling of animals while presenting to the visiting public.

Dylan Elizabeth was excited to be accepted and complete this program and follow her grandmother's legacy, Stanislava Wolski, a Docent at the Staten Island Zoo more than 30 years ago. Zoo conservation and public education about the importance and care of animals have long been a family passion.

"The Jr. Docent program at the zoo provides many opportunities,” she shared. “I find it interesting learning new information about conservation and animal life while I engage with the community. I look forward to participating in the monthly themed zoo special events."

Dylan Elizabeth is a new member of the Association of Zoo and Aquarium Docents and Volunteers.

At Mount Saint Mary, Dylan Elizabeth is a member of the Chemistry Club, Mock Trial, Art Club, and Future Medical Professionals Club. She plays on the volleyball and golf teams.
