Life as an Entomology Grad Student at the University of Kentucky

Conferences and Workshops

The majority of our graduate students attend multiple scientific conferences and workshops during their academic career at UK.

 

These experiences allow students to showcase their work and meet many leading scientists in the field.

Pictured above are the five UK graduate students who won awards at the 2008 Entomological Society of America Meeting: Hua Bai, Juliane Deacutis, Tonja Fisher, Julie Peterson, and Alvaro Romero.

Conferences attended by our students include:

 

· Entomological Society of America (ESA) National Meeting

· ESA-North Central Branch Meeting

· Annual Forum of the Ohio Valley Entomological Association

· National Pest Management Association Pest World Meeting

· National Conference in Urban Entomology

UK students, Alvaro Romero (middle) and Craig Stillwell (right) took first and second place respectively in the student competition.
