Entomology Society at USF Outreach
An introduction blog post and proposal on starting the Entomology Society at USF (ESSF). Also known as the Entomology Society of Southern Florida will be open for membership. As officers soft launch the student-led organization, virtual community will be highly encouraged on Instagram and Discord. The co-founders (Dayana Gutierrez-Sotelo, Taylor Rand, Shane Brown, and Daniella Casanova) will be brainstorming on interactive ways to encourage members to be involved remotely or in-person.
Founded in December 2022, ESSF will become the first, official entomology and nematology society for the University of South Florida. Neighboring species (arachnology, myriapodology, and nematology) are also welcomed for discussion within the society. ESSF motivate virtual science engagement regardless of which USF campus (Tampa, St. Petersburg, Manatee) you reside.
