Duties include variously sorting, filing, and mounting herbarium specimens, barcoding and databasing the collection, as well as imaging specimens using digital photographic equipment. Students must receive federal work-study support as part of their financial aid package to be eligible. Previous experience with MS Access and Adobe Photoshop preferred, but not required. The Herbarium welcomes application of interested students to various independent learning opportunities. By registering for the following independent study hours, students can gain valuable hands-on experience, while at the same time receiving credit towards their degree.
Honors level independent study opportunities are also available.
In addition to the listed opportunities, project proposals by motivated students are always welcome. Herbarium resources, such as microscopes, taxonomic references, and digital camera equipment will be available to support the student's study. Web-skills will be taught as part of the practicum.
