Outreach
Our Committment to Community
The Department of Plant Cellular and Molecular Biology is committed to
academic and community outreach programs. Many of our faculty mentor
junior high and high school students through a variety of volunteer programs.
In addition, our faculty are available to provide seminars to nearby colleges,
universities, and civic organizations. The public is invited to attend
our seminar series featuring speakers from OSU and other academic institutions
addressing topics at the forefront of plant biology research. Click here to

Our greenhouse offers tours for visiting groups at all levels and for many
interests. For inquiries and to schedule a tour see the Greenhouse
web site.
