Yesterday, the Department of Horticulture and Crop Science officially welcomed its newest undergraduate students at Pre-Convocation 2025. A vibrant kickoff to the academic year! This special event introduced incoming students to the department's faculty, resources, and community, while offering a warm space to connect, ask questions, and begin planting the seeds of their academic journey - and also some real plants!

Students planting!

From labs and greenhouses to fields and classrooms, there’s so much ahead and we couldn’t be more excited to grow together. Here's to a season of discovery, hands-on learning, and lifelong connections. Welcome to HCS!
