Cultivating genomic literacy is a strategic goal of both HudsonAlpha and the HudsonAlpha Educational Outreach team. HudsonAlpha U will help citizens understand genomics concepts in an engaging way; as well as bring new discoveries and biotechnology applications to life through in-person events and online resources.

Anchored in scientific literature, guidebook articles are written in way that is easy to understand by a general audience.

The HudsonAlpha Alumni Association is made up of individuals who support HudsonAlpha Educational Outreach through participation and financial contribution. Members receive early access to public education events as well as an invitation to the annual member appreciation event.
