The Clothesline Project is a national movement focused on creating a visual reminder of the impact that power-based personal violence has had on our community, turning statistics into shirts. The movement gives a voice to those who have been silenced, sending the message that help is available and there is a path to healing. Everyone in the campus community is encouraged to create a shirt providing words of support for survivors, stories of a personal experience or that of someone close to you, or messages taking a stand against power-based personal violence. We will have various opportunities for you to stop by our open sessions and make a shirt in support and solidarity with survivors.

Insects are the most diverse and successful creatures on Earth. There are more than 10 quintillion insects on the globe. All these bugs! How can they be so successful? Insects are so resilient – they reproduce quickly, and they transform and adapt to their environment. Humans have been inventing and using pesticides to control insect pests that damage crops, or spread disease; however, insects have evolved robust capabilities to fight back. Our scientist will share their research and the questions they are exploring about how insects, specifically potato beetles are thriving. Together we'll examine more closely how these bugs fight back and see who might be winning.

It Isn't Easy Being Green - Plant Biotic Interactions, November 1 and November 8 Plant pathologists often try to culture microbes from sick plants to try to find and identify a pathogen. With the help of our researchers, you will be a plant pathogen detective! You will determine what is infecting samples of fruiting and flowering plants. To answer this question you will create an experimental plan, record your procedure, test tissue samples, and make observations, just like scientists do!
