Volunteering with SERC was a wonderful experience and I learned a lot. There is always someone willing to help you with whatever task you are assigned and there are volunteers and scientists with a wealth of knowledge. The Archaeology Dig Days are a great way to get involved with research projects at SERC, especially if you're interested in discovering artifacts and learning about history. I would recommend this opportunity to anyone looking to get involved at SERC. This opportunity can open up doors to other projects as well.
