Everyone is welcome, even if you are not a chemistry student by major!

The Graduate Student Society of Chemists (GSSC) is hosting an event to allow graduate students in chemistry to deliver 5 minute talks about an aspect of their research. Please come out to hear about the diverse research projects going on in our department.

Immediately following the 5-minute talks, the Graduate Student Society of Chemists (GSSC) is hosting a chemistry themed trivia night. Everyone is welcome to come and test their trivia skills all for the bragging rights of being first place.
