We are committed to sharing our research results in animal behavior with younger scientists, such as K-12 students as well as teachers.
We welcome local K-12 teachers to attend our seminars and other events, particularly those related to animal behavior, including:
- Hefner Lecture Reception (held each October)
- Undergraduate Research Forum (held each April)
The research forum highlights exciting new animal behavior research by Miami University undergraduates.
