Student Speakers Bureau brings UWBG to you

Current research at UWBG ranges widely and includes topics such as: techniques for ecological restoration, urban horticulture and plant response to climate change.

Due to public requests for student presenters, and the students’ own passion for UWBG’s mission and research, the Student Speakers Bureau was formed to bring that passion to you. We would like to offer you the unique opportunity to hear up-and-coming student researchers present on their area of expertise.

To see the list of this year’s presentation topics and to request a speaker, please click here. If you have any further questions, please email us at uwbgssb@u.washington.edu
