Chemistry Department
The Chemistry Department runs a weekly seminar series throughout the academic year. It includes talks by industrial, academic, and government chemists on their research, panel discussions on career opportunities for chemistry graduates, advice from graduating seniors on how to apply to graduate schools, and workshops on writing cover letters and resumes.
Seminars will take place every Thursday at 12:50 p.m. in ISEC 222 unless otherwise noted.
