St. Cloud State University senior Kendall Cross is one of many students conducting invaluable undergraduate research at SCSU, and his work is a key part of setting up success for future cataloging of the region's various plant specimens. Alongside Dr. Angela McDonnell, assistant professor of biology, Cross has been working for the past two years to digitize approximately 30,000 plant specimens. The SCSU Herbarium has a collection that dates back over 150 years to 1862, with more plant specimen being added every month.
