Chemistry students!
Some of the graduate students have rallied together and started an initiative with YOU in mind.
Strong, long-lasting mentorship, as well as personal and professional empowerment are two key pillars of successful individuals. OSU’s Chemistry Undergraduate Mentoring and Empowerment (OSU-ChUME) Initiative is here to help you achieve these two pillars.
OSU-ChUME will help you foster professional long-lasting relationships between you and graduate/professional chemistry students.
OSU-ChUME is also dedicated to empowering you with all the tools necessary to stay on top of the chemistry field.
We invite you to our inaugural meet-and-greet: 5pm on Friday, October 25, 2013 at Gilbert 324. In this meet-and-greet, you will get to know the growing list of graduate student mentors (& start forming these professional relationships!). We will also talk about all the opportunities this initiative plans on providing to you. Of course, light refreshments will be provided.
We look forward to meeting you and beginning this journey!
Best,
Lindsay Wills & Maduka Ogba
