The Prestage Department of Poultry Science is committed to communicating research. To support ongoing communications, the department hosts invited speakers who address a wide range of topics.
As part of graduate study, students take a graduate seminar course. This course teaches students how to present their research effectively and gives them a platform for presenting research in and beyond the PDPS community.
