Welcome to the 2024-25 Academic Year

Welcome back, chemists! We are excited for a new academic year that is only days away, and I hope you are, too. We will be using the Weekly Beaker to pass along important information about upcoming events, so please take a chance to read it each week. As we look forward to the fall term, I especially want to draw your attention to two great opportunities for student involvement: an upcoming search for a tenure-track physical chemist to join our department and a new peer mentoring program that Dani Kohen has been working closely with The Ring and other students to develop and roll out this fall. More details will come in the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned! Even if you aren’t taking any Chemistry courses this term, I hope you’ll swing by to say hi, join us for a Periodic Table lunch, or check out some of the fantastic seminars offered each week. Read on for more details. – Matt
