For instance, opportunities exist to engage with the Infectious Disease Institute, the Center of Microbiome Science, and the Michael V.
Drake Institute for Teaching and Learning, among others.

Advise graduate and undergraduate students, including Ph.D.
and MS students in Plant Pathology, professional Master in Plant Health Management students, and undergraduate students in a variety of majors including honors students.
Work collaboratively with university faculty and staff, Department of Plant Pathology and/or OSU extension, government agencies, non-government organizations, and/or community groups to advance the land grant mission of the college and university.
