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.
