\n \n This is also a great chance to learn about \;Rock the Future: Inspiring the Earth Scientists of Tomorrow\, an exciting campaign in honor of the Museum'\;s \;10th \;anniversary. This initiative aims to construct new permanent exhibits and enhancements \;within the Museum of the Earth and Cayuga Nature Center focusing on early learner and climate change education. It is PRI'\;s hope that these additions will provide all future visitors engaging learning opportunities to discover more about Earth'\;s past\, present\, and future. With the help of many generous supporters\, PRI hopes to complete this project by June 2014.
