Get Involved

Join the Friends of the Cotsen Institute, the group dedicated to supporting graduate student education, faculty research, and many other initiatives. Interested in joining? Contact Michelle Jacobson today!

Are you interested in cataloging rock art, analyzing animal bones, organizing notes and photos from field research projects, or cataloging ancient artifacts? There are many volunteer opportunities to be an active contributor to cutting-edge research projects with faculty, staff, and students at the Cotsen Institute in our laboratories, archives, or Press. Please send an email with your resume and a short description of your archaeological interests to the Cotsen staff. If you are interested in volunteering with a specific faculty member or in a particular lab, include this information in your email. Your email will then be forwarded to the appropriate faculty member(s) and if there is a need for a volunteer, someone will contact you.

Cotsen Institute programs benefit significantly from private gift giving. These funds can be directed towards graduate student support, faculty research, Cotsen Institute Publications, or “Greatest Needs.”
