Erin Tripp (Curator)
Erin Tripp has served as Curator of the COLO Herbarium since 2013. She studies systematics, evolution, and floristics of the large (>4,000 species), pantropical plant family Acanthaceae. Additionally, Erin is interested in the biodiversity, evolution, and conservation of the North American lichen biota.

Hazel Schmoll Research Fellowship in Colorado Botany
The Schmoll Research Fellowship was established in memory of Dr. Hazel Schmoll, an alumna of CU-Boulder and the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in Botany from the University of Chicago in 1935. The fellowship aims to continue her work of research and education in Colorado botany, with an emphasis on field botany, including systematics and ecology, of Colorado plants. It is open to students, faculty, and staff of the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½, with awards of up to $500.
