Applied Plant Sciences Graduate Club

Last week the APS Grad Club was proud to accept the Little Red Oil Can award at the Borealis Night Of Excellence! This award honored the grad club for its positive impact on the University of Minnesota’s St. Paul campus.

Join us for the 2024 Plant Sciences Symposium on March 29-30th! Several APS students are hard at work planning this amazing event. We can't wait!

Welcome back to campus! APS grad students got together to meet new students in the program and reconnect with others they already knew!

APS graduate students traveled to the Chicago, IL area for tours at Ball Horticultural/PanAmerican Seed Co. and Syngenta US. While visiting, students got to learn about the work these companies do and meet with an APS program alumnus.

This past weekend students from APS and Plant Pathology enjoyed the outdoors at the annual camping trip!

Happy end of spring semester from the APS Grad Club!

APS and other CFANS grad students attended a Salsa and Bachata dance class last week!

Students from the APS grad club went to Bethel University to help with the Science Olympiad State Tournament. Science Olympiad is a nonprofit organization that engages K-12 students in STEM through fun competitions. It was a great time!

Join us for the 2023 Plant Sciences Symposium in two weeks! This event is organized by graduate students, including students from the APS grad club. Visit the website for more information and registration https://plantsciencesymposium.umn.edu/schedule

Members of the APS Grad Club volunteered as interviewers for the University of Minnesota Extension Ecology Science Fair! The science fair hosted students from elementary through high school ages.

APS Grad Club has had a busy fall!
We kicked off the semester with a New Student Welcome Tailgate, and have had regular "bar classes" (APSbc 7025: Advanced Bar Socialization.... yes, there's even a syllabus).
In October, students and their loved ones participated in a pumpkin carving contest. Most recently, club members got together to make and sell fresh apple pies as a fundraiser.
