Meet Christine Mejia
We would like to welcome Christine Mejia to UCMP! Chris will be working in
the front office and will provide general support for our administrative
needs. Chris comes to us from John F. Kennedy University School of Law in
Pleasant Hill and we are delighted to have her on board.
From staff to graduate student
Many thanks and congratulations are due to both Colleen Whitney and Robin
Walker as they “leave” UCMP and begin their careers as graduate
students. Colleen joined UCMP in 1999 working on special projects and eventually
becoming the UCMP Webmaster. As such, she upgraded the site substantially, added new
features such as the UCMP news, and Mystery Fossil. She has also modernized and
integrated the UCMP databases and provided a web interface that provides easy access
to specimen data for both the research and education communities. Colleen has been
accepted into the Masters Program at the School of Information Management and
Systems here on campus, but will maintain her connection with UCMP by continuing
her work on the UCMP database and on the Paleontology Portal project.
Robin started her
work with UCMP at the front desk in 2004. She found a niche at the museum working
on our archival materials, and thanks to a
