Student Phytopathological Organization for Research and Education
Academic
We serve as a support network for Plant Pathology graduate students, providing networking and professional development opportunities. Another important part of our mission is outreach, to help educate others in the community about plant pathology at things like SciFest and other small outreach events. We also host yearly seminar exchanges with other universities, to try to facilitate networking between plant pathology students. The board members meet monthly to discuss and work with faculty members to improve the grad student experience.
