Seminar Series
Speakers from across the nation and from within Texas
A&M University present various aspects of the field of toxicology weekly
during the fall and spring semesters. This series exposes students to diverse
areas of research in toxicology and related areas of biomedical sciences.
Speakers from outside the university visit with faculty members and students
during their trip. This provides students with opportunities to make valuable
contacts and discuss research with various scientists in a small group setting.
Student Forum
Once each year, toxicology students are strongly
encouraged to participate in the Toxicology Student Seminars. Each student
presents a brief presentation on his or her research progress followed by
interactions with colleagues and faculty. This program informs both students and
faculty of ongoing research activities and provides students with experience in
the presentation of their research. Certain students also participate in similar
programs in their respective colleges and departments.
National & Regional Meetings
The Faculty of Toxicology supports travel for toxicology
students to attend the annual meeting of the Society of Toxicology and the
regional Gulf Coast Society of Toxicology. Students are encouraged to
participate in platform or poster competitions at these conferences. These
travel opportunities allow students to meet other students and professionals
within their areas of interest and to begin networking for postgraduate
positions and employment opportunities. Many Texas A&M University toxicology
students have won prestigious awards at the national and regional meetings. The
national SOT meeting provides a placement service for student members
approaching graduation and several Texas A&M University graduates have
secured employment through this service.
