ABOUT US
The Community Outreach group is a student-run organization parented by MD Anderson Cancer Center UTHealth Houston Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences that aims to help serve the community by increasing science understanding and awareness to create a better future.
We organize and coordinate a wide range of outreach activities within the community such as science fairs, career fairs, science lectures/demonstrations, MD Anderson and UT Health Houston lab tours, and more! Contact us if you would like to organize an event!
If you are interested in partnering with Outreach for an event, please keep in mind that we require at least a 2-3 month advanced notice. Please email [email protected] with the following information: a brief description of the event and any requirements for the proposed activity, date/time/location of the event, the number of people expected to attend the event and target audience age range, and the expected number of required Outreach volunteers. We will typically respond to your request within 1 week. We look forward to partnering with you to advance science communication in our community!
