Mission Statement

The primary purpose of the Cofrin Center for Biodiversity is to promote education, research, and community services that contribute to conservation of the western Great Lakes fauna and flora. These activities provide 1) a highly visible example of the University’s interdisciplinary, problem-focused mission, and 2) a stronger identity for existing programs, including the Cofrin Arboretum, the Richter Museum of Natural History, the University Herbarium, and faculty/student research projects. A broader objective is to develop a model regional biodiversity center that will help guide conservation efforts elsewhere.

The Center for Biodiversity enhances educational programs at UW-Green Bay by providing hands-on resources for undergraduate and graduate courses, by establishing student internship opportunities, and by attracting visiting scientists and speakers. Research at UW-Green Bay is promoted by a student grants program and by quality research facilities and staff support. The Center aims to become a regional clearinghouse of information resources for professional biologists, naturalists, educators, and local private enterprises. Collectively, these activities contribute to quality of life in the western Great Lakes region and help strengthen the connection between UW-Green Bay and the people of this area.
