Education lies at the heart of the MNCH mission, and the museum continues to be a rich resource for students at the University of Oregon. From the classroom to the collections vault, from the laboratory to the field, museum staff members teach and mentor hundreds of students each year. In 2012–13, museum staff members taught more than forty University of Oregon courses, including both campus- and field-based offerings. The museum also served more than 100 students through participatory learning programs, graduate awards, and volunteer and paid positions. PROFILE Students in these positions gained hands-on experience in a variety of LAUREN WILLIS settings related to research, education, and museum operations.
