Congratulations to everyone! Thank you so much for all the hard work you do for all of us and the department!
Due to our current situation with COVID-19 we have to postpone this year's Plant Pathology Awards celebration. When in-person meetings return to normal the department will host an awards day/welcome back celebration. Thanks to everyone in the department for all the hard work and continued support and effort through these times.
