Welcome to the VFIC Webpage
Outreach and Education
The VIC Kids program's focus was to teach children the importance of research and the difference research makes in the vegetable and fruit industry. Our program included an interactive presentation and a lab tour in order for kids to observe our research methods first hand. |
The Center is available for tours of all sizes. Educational tours for school aged children are set up through the VICKids program. Adult tours can be set up by contacting our office at vicmail@tamu.edu or 979-862-4521. Our photo gallery gives an idea of what our center and labs have to offer, as well as the visitors we get. |
