About SCPD

Our Mission

Science communication is quickly becoming an essential part of both scientific practice and public discourse. Our mission is to provide undergraduates from all majors with opportunities to gain theoretical knowledge and practical experience communicating science across a variety of popular media formats. If you are passionate about science and interested in increasing public understanding, support, and trust in science, the SCPD minor offers the perfect platform to develop your skills.
