Compass Student Shines at C.P. Gillette Museum of Arthropod Diversity

Compass students lend a hand at Colorado State University.

Compass student Jaxton recently received kind recognition from the C.P. Gillette Museum of Arthropod Diversity at Colorado State University for his volunteer work supporting their insect collections.

During his time at the museum, Jaxton helped sort donated specimens, transfer aquatic insects into updated storage vials, and assist with organizing research materials. Museum staff shared appreciation for his care, focus, and reliability, and described him as a “treasure” to their team.

Experiences like this show how students can contribute in meaningful ways beyond the classroom while exploring their interests.

Thank you for representing Compass so thoughtfully, Jaxton.
