The Outreach Committee (a collaboration between the Departments of Microbiology and Immunology), was established in 2022 to increase engagement with our local community. A particular focus of the Outreach Subcommittee is to provide access to scientists and research for young people from underrepresented identities and backgrounds. For example, in partnership with the Minds Matter and SPIN Girls organizations, we provide high school students in the greater Seattle area with opportunities to meet and interact with scientists and participate in a range of learning experiences. We are also eager to build meaningful, bi-directional partnerships with groups within the Pacific Northwest. Use the tabs in the left menu to learn more about Outreach Committee Programs.
