Demeter

Demeter is a nonprofit organization with a primary mission of providing student support for undergraduate students in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences at UW-Madison. We also support community projects and promote friendship and fellowship among agricultural and life science professionals, their families, and community members. Student support includes Scholarships, Research Awards, Study Abroad Awards, Internships, and funds for Student Organizations. Community projects have included planting bulbs at the Allen Centennial Garden each fall and sewing headcovers for people undergoing cancer treatment. Social and educational events, which promote fellowship among members of the Demeter community, have taken many forms, such as Webinars on various topics, an annual corn roast picnic in September, tours of natural areas, and luncheons with speakers. Join Demeter to meet others interested in supporting undergraduate students, providing service to the community, and learning about a diversity of topics related to agriculture and our community.
