NC State's Office of University Interdisciplinary Programs and Office for Faculty Excellence are pleased to present Cluster Conversations, a series that spotlights NC State's Chancellor's Faculty Excellence Program clusters. Each month, Rob Dunn, senior vice provost for University Interdisciplinary Programs, holds an informal conversation about exciting work being done within a different faculty cluster and with an eye to the future.

Join us on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, as members of the Emerging Plant Disease and Global Food Security Cluster discuss how they are creating new knowledge and tools to better understand and counter emerging infectious plant diseases caused by pathogens and pests, enabling a more rapid response to contain and limit potential damage by these threats.

Coffee and morning snacks will be available. Please register so we have an accurate headcount for catering purposes.

The Office Real Estate and Development is an event cohost. The event is free and open to all members of the Centennial Campus community, including private tenants and the public.
