We are a graduate student-led organization based in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. 

​

As EKEE (Engaging Knoxville in Ecology & Evolution) we seek to:

​​

• Inspire Knoxville to appreciate and understand the importance of biodiversity, conservation of East and research happening at UT EEB

• Introduce Knoxville to the diversity of UT scientists and variety of ecological and evolutionary research happening at UT 

• Provide EEB researchers with 1) opportunities to communicate science to public audiences and 2) tools to effectively implement science engagement in their careers

​

​

EKEE currently focuses on visiting local schools and community groups and participating in the local Farmers' Market.
