The University of California Museum of Paleontology (UCMP) is a leader in innovative educational programs that reach diverse audiences through award-winning web resources: Understanding Evolution, Understanding Science, and Understanding Global Change.

You can help us do so much: ensure that education reaches beyond the university to broader audiences, support UCMP staff and students in those efforts, and maintain and expand effective educational programs and resources.

Our current priorities include continued support of ACCESS Paleo (Advancing Community College Education and Student Success), a program developed by our graduate students providing community college students and instructors with virtual and in-person paleobiology lab resources. Your gift supports these efforts with the ultimate goal of increasing the public's understanding and support of science: what it is, how it works, and its importance to society.
