Education
A major pillar of the Community Outreach and Education Department is education. As part of The Hormel Institute’s larger mission to improve health and extend lives, the department provides unique STEM learning opportunities for K-12 students to inspire and cultivate the next generation of research leaders and innovators.
Through The Hormel Institute’s educational activities and programs, rural students, who are underrepresented in STEM careers, have access to unique opportunities and experiences—such as guided, hands-on activities and direct mentorship from world-class scientists—that are unparalleled throughout much of the country.
