Graduate Student Organizations

Here are a few organizations you might consider joining as a plant sciences graduate student:

The C.V. Riley Entomological Society is involved in the development and promotion of public interest in entomology. Members promote public awareness of entomology through participation in community events such as Earth Day, Haunted House of Hoops, Bioblitz surveys, and class presentations at local elementary schools. The society also sponsors a picnic and an insect collecting trip each fall.

The Linnaean Games Team competes in a quiz-bowl style competition on entomological facts. The team consists of a maximum of four students and may be composed of either graduate or undergraduate students. Teams compete head-to-head in single-elimination tournaments at the branch and national levels.
