Entomology Education & Outreach
The Entomology Graduate Student Association (EGSA) is a student-led organization focused on entomology education, outreach, community support, professionalism, and having fun with insects.
EGSA is committed to developing education materials for learning objectives involving entomology, ecology, conservation, exploration, biodiversity, creative thinking and expression. We focus on community engagement and giving back through doing what we love - learning about insects! Our community events are offered throughout central and northeast Ohio and provide an opportunity for the public to engage with research and education experts.
EGSA Highlights - Autumn 2025
Contributed by Dante Centuori, EGSA President
This fall, EGSA was involved in a number of successful outreach events, primarily Pumpkins & Pillbugs at Wooster, and the Insect Film Fest in Columbus. Both events were very well attended by the public and provided a great opportunity for kids and adults to get interested in entomology and be exposed to the departments' program. EGSA students also represented the interests of students in a variety of committees, department and university wide. We had a footprint at the annual Entomology Society of America conference as well, with many members attending and staffing a table in the vendors hall. Our Instagram account was also re-started by the digital media officer Dahee Ahn, if you're interested in keeping up with our activities be sure to follow @EGSA_OSU!
