Kenneth S. Norris Center for Natural History

**About** [The Kenneth S. Norris Center for Natural History](https://norriscenter.ucsc.edu/about/images/Norris_Center_brochure.pdf) supports natural history education and research opportunities for students, faculty, staff, and the greater Santa Cruz community. Following in the spirit of Ken Norris, we are continuing to build a community of people who carry their passion for the natural world into all aspects of their lives. The Norris Center supports natural history learning by curating important natural history collections, teaching field-based classes, supporting hands-on internships, strengthening connections among disciplines - especially art and science, mentoring students to be future environmental leaders and teachers, and building lasting communities and professional networks.
