A recent study identified candidate members of 32 Ori using astrometry and photometry from Gaia DR3, arriving at a total of 169 candidate members [more than quadruple the number of previously known members]. Among those candidates, 14 lack the spectroscopy needed for measuring spectral types and verifying youth and 51 lack the measurements of RVs needed for confirming membership via UVW velocities. We propose to use SpeX to perform spectral classifications on the first sample of 14 candidates and we propose to use iSHELL to measure RVs for the second sample of 51 candidates. Through these observations, we will complete the process of assessing membership for all of the candidate members of 32 Ori that have been identified with Gaia. PROGRAM_ABSTRACT_END
