Engagement also ties into our research mission. Several of our faculty are active in community engagement or community-based research. The Pick Museum of Anthropology is not only open to the public as a cultural site but also serves as a teaching museum for the university, providing engaged learning opportunities such as collections research, exhibit curation and enriching curricula with object-based learning.
