Outreach

The Faculty of Life Sciences is committed to making a meaningful difference by exploring the wonders of biology and tackling some of the biggest challenges facing humanity today.


We believe in the power of connection and actively work to engage with people from all walks of life—whether you're a student, a teacher, a parent, or a community member in Camden, Stratford, or beyond.

We are particularly passionate about reaching groups who have been historically under-represented in universities and science, creating opportunities for everyone to discover and contribute to life sciences. Our staff and students regularly participate in outreach activities, sharing knowledge and learning from the communities we serve. We support these efforts through specialized training and funding, ensuring that our work has a lasting, positive impact.
