Volunteers
Allow Museum of Anthropology to Offer Programs and Activities
Lara Petersen, curator of Utah State University's Museum of
Anthropology, is looking forward to meeting and working with
recruited museum volunteers beginning in late August. "We
could not do what we do without the enthusiastic support of
our volunteers and students," she said.
Assisting Petersen are Curtis and Tricia Hancock, Utah State
students and Logan residents. The Hancocks head a volunteer
program for the museum. As volunteers themselves, the Hancocks
have worked with Petersen to develop a program to cover the
various needs of the museum.
Positions in the recently created volunteer program at the
Museum of Anthropology include education curator, public relations
specialist, special events coordinator, collections curator
and membership program coordinator. Those interested in volunteering
at the museum should contact the Hancocks at (435) 792-3540
or by email at tkhancock@cc.usu.edu.
Applications are also available at the museum, located in Old
Main room 252, open weekdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Complete training will be provided for all new volunteers beginning
in early August. Volunteers should be ready to work with the
museum team in late August and provide approximately five hours
a week.

State's Museum of Anthropology see the full story on Utah
State Today.
Wright Flyer
Replica Topic of next Utah State Lecture
A reconstruction of the Wright brothers' 1905 plane, a project
that has taken more than 10,000 hours of effort by Utah State
engineering students, has had more than 100 successful flights,
and is the topic of the next Friends of the University Libraries
lecture at Utah State University.
The lecture, "Re-invention of the Wright Brothers Plane,"
is Wednesday, June 18, and features David Widauf, executive
director of the Wright Flyer project and associate professor
in the industrial technology and education department at Utah
State.
Widauf will speak at Utah State University at 4 p.m. in room
046 of the Eccles Science Learning Center. Admission is free
and all are welcome.
The lecture gives an overview of how the project came about,
student involvement with the project, building and flight of
the plane and how far aviation has come since the Wright brothers
took their first powered flight on Dec.17, 1903.
