With our Spring 2025 graduate student welcome reception, we welcomed eight new Plant Biology graduate students to the Department and celebrated the successes of our students. 

We’re honored to share that our graduate student endowment has been renamed in memory of our colleague and friend, Dr. Shu-Mei Chang. Now known as the “Shu-Mei Chang Graduate Student Endowment in Plant Biology,” this endowment provides stipend support to graduate students in our program.

Congratulations to Zheng-Hua Ye, Professor in Plant Biology, for being named a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
