The Plant Science Graduate Student Association at South Dakota State University aims to provide resources to our graduate students and help enrich each student's graduate experience. Each graduate student that enrolls in the Department of Plant Science is automatically granted membership to the association. We host social events, host workshops, run a discussion center to provide access to journals, host a seminar series on scientific techniques, and provide information on funding opportunities, graduate school requirements, and useful skills to complete your degree. Our department is extremely diverse and covers topics including Horticulture, Range Management, Agronomy, Entomology, Plant Microbiology, Plant Breeding, and Soil Science. We aim to bring students from all of these disciplines together and provide resources to meet their various needs. For more information, visit the pages of this website or contact our officers using the Contact page.
