Our Crowdfunding Groups
Crowdfund UC Davis thanks all of the donors who gave to this important project in October. This campaign has closed, but we are grateful for your support!
My name is Dr. Gold. I am a professor in the department of Earth & Planetary Sciences and I'm the new manager of the UC Davis fossil collection. Right now, most of our fossils are hidden away in cabinets and drawers--I want to share them with the Davis community. My goal is to combine pieces from our collection with new acquisitions, creating a public exhibition space in the Earth and Physical Sciences Building that tells the story of life on Earth.
To initiate this project, I propose purchasing a replica Tyrannosaurus rex skull, which will be a cornerstone of our public displays. This skull will bring attention to the exciting work being done at UC Davis, and will provide a valuable teaching tool for multiple popular classes. The Earth and Physical Sciences Building is right next to the Bohart Museum of Entomology, creating a perfect corner of campus for students and families to visit.
Why should donors support this project? Anyone who contributes will be invited to our opening event. And those who contribute $50 or more will have their names listed on the donor wall next to the skull! Besides, doesn't UC Davis deserve a T. rex?
