The facility has been involved in a number of outreach programs, many of which are sponsored by COEP to introduce public school students to careers in science and toxicology. Recent examples are highlighted here. ¿ An annual mini-workshop, "Discovering the Scientist Within", sponsored by The Association for Women in Science (AWIS), has provided a unique opportunity to share hands-on flow cytometry activities with middle-school girls and introduce them to careers that utilize this technology. A similar program has been presented to visiting high school age students from the Science and Math Investigative Learning Experiences (SMILE), a unique pre-college enrichment program targeting historically underrepresented and other educationally disadvantaged students in Oregon. ¿ The COEP has recently developed a website, Unsolved Mysteries of Human Health, that has a goal of introducing students and the general public to complex research methods and instrumentation as highlighted by Center investigators' own research. One feature of this website, "Going with the Flow", highlighted the research in Dr. Kerkvliet's laboratory in order to show students how a flow cytometer operates and how flow data is used to learn about dioxin toxicity (http://www.unsolvedmysteries.oregonstate.edu/flow_cytometry_01.shtml). ¿ A major contribution to the field of toxicology was completed by Julie Oughton and Dr. Kerkvliet who co-authored a unit section in the Current Protocols in Toxicology, "Immune Cell Phenotyping Using Flow Cytometry", which was published in 2005. ¿ Several seminars have been presented to various immunology classes at Oregon State University to introduce the principles of flow cytometry to budding immunologists, as well as hands-on demonstrations of the bench top analyzers.

该设施参与了许多外展计划，其中许多是由 COEP向公立学校学生介绍科学和毒理学职业。最近的例子是 突出显示在这里。 一年一度的小型研讨会，“发现科学家的内在”，由协会主办， 妇女在科学（AWIS），提供了一个独特的机会，分享动手流式细胞术 与中学女生一起开展活动，并向她们介绍利用这项技术的职业。一 类似的计划已提交给来访的高中年龄的学生从科学和 数学研究性学习体验（SMILE），一个独特的大学预科课程 针对俄勒冈州历史上代表性不足和其他教育弱势的学生。 COEP最近开发了一个网站，未解决的人类健康问题， 向学生和公众介绍复杂的研究方法和仪器， 研究人员自己的研究。这个网站的一个特点是，“与 流动”，强调了Kerkvliet博士实验室的研究，以向学生展示流动如何 流式细胞仪的操作以及如何使用流式细胞仪数据来了解二恶英的毒性 (http：//www.unsolvedcytometry.oregonstate.edu/flow_cytometry_01.shtml）。 对毒理学领域的重大贡献是由Julie Oughton和Kerkvliet博士完成的，他们 共同撰写了《毒理学现行方案》中的一个单元部分，“使用免疫细胞表型分析 Flow Cytometry”，2005年出版。 在俄勒冈州州立大学的各种免疫学课程上举办了几次研讨会， 向初出茅庐的免疫学家介绍流式细胞术的原理， 台式分析仪的演示。
