We are delighted to announce that we have a new academic event this year – CSU Graduate School Panel! The purpose of the event is to help chemistry undergraduates to better understand the graduate school application process and to connect with UofT chemistry alumni who are now pursuing graduate studies in chemistry in Canada (UofT) and overseas (Stanford,
Caltech, Scripps, Cambridge, Oxford). The event features a brief overview of the grad school admission process, followed by the Q&A session with graduate students. The panel will be held on Saturday, October 10th at 5pm via Zoom. Everyone interested in applying to graduate schools in chemistry is welcome to attend our new event!

Do you want to be a part of the CSU this year? Are you a first- or second-year taking any CHM course? Here’s your chance! Apply to be one of 2 first-year reps or for the 1 second-year rep position and join our CSU team! As part of the exec team you will help organize events and also keep the students in your year informed about everything CSU. It is usually 3-4 hours a week. We are flexible but we would appreciate commitment too!

Want to know why you should join? Lets see what some previous reps had to say:

“Being a second year rep allowed me to connect with other chem students. It also provided me with a great opportunity to enhance my team-working skills!”

– Margaret Zhang

“Being a first-year representative helped me better understand the inner workings of the chemistry department at U of T. It was also a great way to get involved with others who share the same interest as I.”

– Tristan Downey

“As a first-year representative, you gain direct insight into how the CSU organizes its events and initiatives. You play the crucial role of informing other first-year students about the academic and social opportunities offered by the CSU. Also, depending on your interest, you can take charge in creating new events for the future.”

– Tony Hu
