Dr. Daniel Klem
A Muhlenberg professor of biology, Dr. Klem’s research has shined a light on the serious issues that glass windows are affecting avian populations.
The Acopian Center for Ornithology was established in 2006 with the generous support of local philanthropist Sarkis Acopian.
The Center provides a secure facility for the protection and display of its historic 2,000+ piece mounted bird collection, whose specimens average 100 years old and include many threatened, endangered, as well as some extinct species, and its research library, which includes books, journals, and reference works on ornithology, as well as archival and manuscript materials.
The Center is committed to providing hands-on training in the natural sciences to Muhlenberg students as well as opportunities for community engagement with local schools to showcase the beauty and wonder of ornithological study.
