Advancing Graduate Education in the Chemical Sciences

在特别项目计划的这个奖项中，化学系将为美国化学学会（ACS）最近召集的化学科学研究生教育总统委员会提供部分支持。该委员会正在审查影响高质量研究生的招聘、保留和发展的问题。 其目标是考虑化学科学研究生教育的创新模式，并为提高研究生研究和教育的质量提出可行的建议。 委员会将通过ACS国家和区域会议的倾听会议，沿着研究生、博士后学者、早期职业教师、代表性不足的群体、工业代表和其他利益相关者的有针对性的反馈，征求意见，为其工作提供信息。 ACS化学科学研究生教育总统委员会的报告将以硬拷贝形式分发给化学系，并将通过ACS网站免费在线提供。

In this award from the Special Projects Program, the Division of Chemistry will provide partial support for a Presidential Commission on Graduate Education in the Chemical Sciences, which was convened recently by the American Chemical Society (ACS). This Commission is examining issues that affect the recruitment, retention, and development of high-quality graduate students. Its goal is to consider innovative models in graduate education in the chemical sciences and make actionable recommendations for enhancing the quality of graduate research and education. The Commission will solicit input to inform its work through listening sessions at ACS National and Regional Meetings, along with targeted feedback from graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, early career faculty, underrepresented groups, industrial representatives, and other stakeholders. The report of the ACS Presidential Commission on Graduate Education in the Chemical Sciences will be distributed in hard copy to chemistry departments and will be freely available online through the ACS website.
