Strawberry Center graduate student alums collaborate

Omar Gonzalez Benitez (Research Associate, UC Davis Strawberry Breeding Program) delivered a guest lecture to CSU Monterey Bay (CSUMB) students enrolled in Careers in Agriculture, a course taught by Jack Koster (Lecturer, CSUMB). Both Omar (MS, 2020) and Jack (MS, 2022) are former Center graduate students. According to Jack, "It was awesome to see Omar again and host him for a lecture. The students were very engaged and curious, asking him a lot of questions about the world of plant breeding". Omar shared with the students a bit about the Center and his MS work as well.

We love seeing our former students working together professionally!
