Friends of the Wrigley Institute

Outreach and education are central to the mission of the USC Wrigley Institute, and the Friends of the Wrigley Institute ensure the success of these programs. Gifts from the Friends of the Wrigley Institute support scholarships to graduate students in biology, environmental studies and the earth sciences, and they help maintain the USC Wrigley Marine Science Center as well. Members of this support group receive a range of benefits depending on their contributions. All members are regularly updated on the institute's activities and invited to special events.
