BE A PART OF OUR DEPARTMENT
Every one of our department classes, exhibits, field trips, projects, etc. has been completed with the help of our fellow faculty (from a multitude of departments), staff, administrators, and students.

If you are interested in joining in on department projects, let us know. You can contribute anyway you'd like: time, specimen-donation, services, suggestions for future classes and projects, financial donations, etc.

There are lots of ways to help!

To donate time, services, or materials, please contact katryn.wiese@mail.ccsf.edu
