OSU-ChUME
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

SCI Scholars – Summer 2014 Internships for Undergraduates
We are pleased to announce the fifth year of the summer internship program, SCI Scholars, for chemistry and chemical engineering undergraduates.
The program is a joint effort of the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) America International Group, the American Chemical Society (ACS), and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), and was developed to introduce chemistry and chemical engineering students to careers in the chemical industry.
Exceptional sophomores and juniors with a GPA of at least 3.5 and who are majoring in chemistry or chemical engineering are encouraged to apply.
Program details:
- Thirty-five scholars will be chosen for internship positions in the summer of 2014.
- SCI Scholars receive $6,000-$10,000+ for a ten-week internship.
- Students will be awarded a certificate and an additional $1,000, which can be used for any purpose, such as participation at an ACS or AIChE meeting.
- Scholars nominate a high school chemistry teacher for recognition. Teachers will be awarded a certificate from SCI and $1,000, which can be used for professional development or classroom materials.
- Applications are due December 14, 2013.
- Interested students should visit www.acs.org/sci to fill out an application and get more information.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could forward (or post) the SCI Program Flyer PDF at www.acs.org/sci to any students you think might be interested in the program, as well as to any faculty members who could help promote this program to their students. Thank you for your assistance in bringing this exceptional opportunity to the attention of your undergraduates.
