“The director of the Science and Engineering Residential College told me about volunteering opportunities at the museum and I thought it would be really cool to volunteer without leaving campus! I like to be helpful in any capacity and with all the jobs and tasks you can do at the museum online and off, it’s been a fun experience!”

-Makenna Kater, CMU museum volunteer

We have some amazing new volunteers helping out the museum this semester! Makenna is one volunteer who is able to help in person, but we have a lot of online opportunities as well. Thanks Makenna for your help!
