Undergraduate Student Organizations

Want to have fun and develop your leadership skills and professional contacts at the same time? Then join one or more of the College’s student clubs and organizations. There are more than 30 to choose from, and each gives you the opportunity to apply what you’re learning in the classroom while making lifelong friends.

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

Agronomy Club at St. Louis Cardinals Game.

The Agronomy Club strives to stimulate interest in agronomic work and provide leadership and training opportunities that allow students to make meaningful contacts with prominent professionals. Members can attend regional and national conventions, go on field trips and participate in the many contests offered by SASES. Other activities include our fundraisers, bonfire in the fall and baseball trip in the spring.

The Horticulture Club is a club for students majoring in Plant Science or for those with an interest in plants. The club provides an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the greenhouse, provide service to both the University community and the community at large and to enjoy social recreation with students and faculty who share a common interest in plants. Members participate in many activities, field trips and tours, social activities and community service projects throughout the year. They also spend a lot of time working in the greenhouse to raise plants for the three large sales they host during the school year. The sales include a poinsettia sale in December, a rose sale on Valentine's Day and a bedding plant sale each spring.
