Professional biography
Janice Swab’s interests are in plant studies and travel for plant study and teaching. Local students have carried out a number of studies on the Meredith campus to give the Meredith community information to increase awareness and appreciation of campus plantings. These include producing an illustrated campus Tree Tour; identifying and mapping campus plants with an emphasis on identifying those that have been designated as commemorative and memorial plants; studying invasive species leading to a campus management plan; and soil studies leading to better planting decisions. She teaches the science methods course required for students who are getting licensure in science in the middle and secondary level.
