The monthly Chemistry Seminars feature guest speakers from Academia and Industry as well as student researchers. Faculty from Chemistry graduate programs share highlights from their research labs and the gradaute programs at their institutions. Our indutrial visitors present chemical research in industrial settings and the service sector. Chemistry majors present the results of their summer research and internship experiences.
Seminars take place on Friday afternoons at 3 PM in room 200 Engineering and Science.
