We Welcome Visits To The Museum The division of entomology museum was formalized by EI Schlinger in 1962. This collection is an extremely important research and teaching collection. http://entmuseum.ucr.edu/about_the_museum_erm.htm
Extractions: p About the Museum The Riverside campus houses the second oldest of the UC collections. The first specimens were transferred from the California State Insectary at Sacramento when Harry Smith joined the Faculty in 1923. Other sizable personal collections were added by P.H. Timberlake in 1924 and L.D. Anderson in 1948, and the G.P. McKenzie collection of North American Coleoptera was purchased in 1965. The division of entomology museum was formalized by E.I. Schlinger in 1962. S.I. Frommer and J.C. Hall joined the effort in 1964. Frommer developed the collection in what was then the Division of Economic Entomology while Hall curated the collections in what was then the Division of Biological Control. For many years the UCR Entomological Museum went under the descriptive yet unofficial name that Frommer had coined for it The UCR Entomological Teaching and Research Collection. On March 30, 1994 a new building for UCR's large collection of insects and related arthropods was dedicated and given an official name the Entomology Research Museum. The lower of two floors in the building houses the collection and provides offices, space for curating and research for its Director, Dr. Serguei V. Triapitsyn, its senior museum scientist, Dr. Doug Yanega, and visiting scientists as well as students. There is a preparations room, a small library/lab room, and a large room for teaching, special seminars, and other events sponsored by the Department of Entomology.

Extractions: The Department of Entomology has access to highly sophisticated research teaching facilities. The Plant Sciences Building, located on the College Park campus, houses most of the faculty, staff and students. One of the newest buildings on campus, its offices, laboratories, environmental chambers, multimedia classrooms, video-conferencing rooms, teaching theatre, and lecture halls provide an excellent environment for research and teaching. document.write ('') Faculty and students also have access to a new state-of-the-art greenhouse on campus. The greenhouse/nursery area is a 2-acre site with 45,000 square feet in greenhouse space and an outdoor nursery area. Plants that are grown in the greenhouse are used for research by faculty and students. Research projects are either conducted on-site, or plants are raised for studies in laboratories in the Department of Entomology. Many courses in the Department have laboratory sections taught by faculty and graduate student teaching assistants in their field of expertise. Facilities include modems, microscopes, wireless laptop computers, and a teaching insect collection of more than 5,000 specimens.

Extractions: FUNDING, POLICIES, AND ASSOCIATIONS FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS STUDENT ASSISTANTSHIPS 1. All students should recognize that appointments on research or teaching assistantships are made for specific time periods. Reappointments are based on performance of assigned duties and reasonable progress on graduate studies. Make sure you retain a signed copy of your appointment form. 2. Thesis or dissertation subject matter for those students on research assistantships must be in the research area for which funds are being provided. 3. The undertaking of employment in addition to an assistantship is up to the student and the student's advisor. Students should recognize, however, that they will be responsible for meeting all requirements mandated by their assistantship and the Department. FINANCIAL SUPPORT Most students are supported by funds awarded to individual faculty members by granting agencies, such as NIH, NSF or USDA, by the Agricultural Experiment Station (Hatch and Regional Research funds for agricultural research, McIntire-Stennis funds for forestry research), or from the College of Natural Resources and the Environment (teaching assistantships). Students interested in applying for a teaching assistantship should consult the Department Chair.

Extractions: Department Overview The Department of Plant, Soil and Entomological Sciences is within the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. It is a large and diverse department with faculty members organized into four divisions: Entomology Crop and Weed Science Horticultural Science , and Soil and Land Resources . Faculty members conduct teaching, research, and extension programs in a variety of scholarly activities. Each of the divisions has a part-time administrator responsible for faculty development, faculty evaluations, guidance in tenure and promotion, curriculum development, and a quality check for scholarly works. Guidance, overall supervision and coordination of all departmental programs is provided by the department head. Budget allocations and related responsibilities are shared by the department head and division chairs. Program coordination within the department and interdisciplinary approaches to agricultural problems is encouraged. The department is administered through an infrastructure that provides for management of resources, offers services, and accounts for activities of the faculty and staff. The department is organized to provide a means for scientists to communicate and help identify instructional, research, and extension needs and activities related to a specific branch of science represented in the department. A quality work environment for science and education by faculty, staff and students is provided, as resources permit.
