Paula Malnača, a first-year student in the Physics Bachelor's study program at the UL's Faculty of Physics, Mathematics, and Optometry, chose to help Fridrich Cander and the Latvian astronomy collection as the holder of the Aina Galēja-Dravniece "Ceļamaizes" scholarship. Paula not only gained some museum experience, but she also learned a lot about astronomy. The UL Museum values hardworking and energetic students and invites interested UL Foundation scholarship holders to assist in the future, fostering an altruistic culture among scholarship holders. The UL Museum encourages scholarship holders to connect their studies, interests, and individual skills to the content of volunteer work.
