Celebrating Women Chemists

The monthly Celebrating Women Chemists lunch seminar series provides a forum for networking across the various subdivisions of chemistry and fosters a sense of community among participants. Graduate students in their 3rd or 4th year deliver a short presentation on their research to their peers. Mentoring opportunities are facilitated by informal interactions among students and faculty in this friendly non-research environment. If you would like to present a seminar, contact Letitia Yao.
