She has also included a large number of KSU students in her research projects or mentored projects of their design (14 undergraduates in BIO 410 and 4 MES graduate students capstone projects -- and counting). She has made ten presentations at conferences concerning her research, six of which occurred after her promotion to Associate Professor. She has attended 13 summer workshops which have added to her ecological knowledge and been applied in her courses, and she has led three summer workshops for middle and high school teachers.

Until recently, she served on the board of Cooperative Center for Study Abroad as one of two KSU representatives. Outside the university, Dr. Sluss is involved in a number of activities which share her expertise with the community.
