FOR STUDENTS
The Herbarium sponsors 5-10 student volunteers to work a minimum of three hours per week per quarter. Volunteers will be required to keep a disciplined weekly schedule and communicate a small research project at the end of the term focused on an aspect of the Herbarium at their discretion. Botanical experience is a plus but not required. Botanical interest is necessary. Open to 1 unit of academic credit (SRP99). Contact Dr. Anthony Baniaga (abaniaga@ucla.edu) for more information.
The Herbarium is open to the creative collaborative use of the collections across disciplines, with a particular interest in artistic and visual applications. Please contact the Curator with inquiries.
