Friends of UCMP banner

UCMP makes a difference. Our museum is recognized internationally as a resource for research and instruction, and sharing that research with a broader audience is critical to our mission. Paleontology integrates information from numerous sciences and thus provides a core of interest for multiple audiences and an opportunity for teachers to integrate many disciplines of science in a natural way. Our focus is on research and on promoting enthusiasm for and understanding of science in grades K­16.

We need your involvement and support.
