Wallace Atrium was buzzing with life as UCMP held it's "Night at the Museum" Holiday Party on December 3rd, 2015. More than sixty people attended the event to celebrate the holidays and recognize the generosity of UCMP supporters. Friends of the museum, UCMP staff, faculty, and students enjoyed great conversation, delicious food and specialty drinks fitting for the occasion: The Trilobite, Rise of the Angiosperms, and the Minty Mammoth Mojito. A highlight of the evening was the special behindthe- scenes tours of the collections showcasing the research projects being conducted at UCMP.

At each station, presenters showcased research projects and provided guests with up-close looks at fossils and insights into the equipment used in research. The stations were as follows:

We thank Nick Spano and Peter Kloess for assistance with registration and 2016 calendar pick-up, and we appreciate the time spent by the many UCMP students and staff who made the evening possible
