The Kenneth S. Norris Center for Natural History supports natural history education and research opportunities for students, faculty, staff, and the greater Santa Cruz community. Established in 2014 through a lead endowment gift from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the Norris Center builds upon the contributions that Professor Ken Norris and others made to the field of natural history at UCSC.
The Norris center hosts classes, offers natural history workshops, has a wide variety of specimens for teaching and research, supports internships and fellowships, and helps engage all people with the natural world.
