About Us

WEMP was founded in 2010 by plant pathology graduate students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Our mission is to foster the Wisconsin Idea by increasing scientific accessibility and literacy through plant science outreach. We participate in community events around Madison, WI at least twice a month and partner with organizations aimed at serving underserved communities and underrepresented K-12 students. 

We are completely student-led and rely on a team of dedicated and passionate volunteers. WEMP meets regularly to plan, develop, and organize outreach materials. We hope you'll find our materials useful or consider joining us as we continue to expand and grow!
