Good Afternoon Everyone! Just a reminder that there will be another GCC meeting regarding both the PhD Excellence Initiative as well as discussing our upcoming volunteer event at Ellicott Road Elementary School. It will be held in NSC 848 on Monday, March 9th at 12 p.m. For the PhD Excellence Initiative (PEI), we will be discussing the response the department of chemistry graduate students will be providing. If you would like more information on the topic, or can not attend t...he meeting but want to voice your opinion, be sure to check your email for a message from us on March 2, 2020. If you are interested in volunteering on March 19th for Science Night at the Elementary school and can't make it to the meeting, be sure to register at this link: https://forms.gle/xfntqCyFk5gd9hdu7 Thanks and See you Monday!

We are definitely excited to see that GSS has opened up registration and abstracts for the upcoming symposium! Stay tuned to find out how GCC will be contributing to the event as well

Don't forget! Tomorrow, February 5th, from 11 am to 12 pm in NSC 306, we will be cohosting a town hall meeting about the PhD Excellence Initiative. Dr. Watson and Dr.Benedict are very interested in obtaining input from graduate students on what the "perfect" graduate program would look like from our perspective. As an added bonus to being able to have your voice heard, we will be supplying coffee and doughnuts :) If you are unable to attend the meeting, but would like us to... relay your comments or questions with your name attached, please use this form: https://docs.google.com//1FAIpQLSeEaiT2ze5CMnj_yy/viewform.

Don't forget! Today is our first meeting of the semester. Meet up with us at 12:00 pm in NSC 364 (we even have pizza!) To kick off the semester right we will be discussing new spring events and volunteer opportunities. We will also be looking to refresh our tutoring list for this semester and finish up some paperwork. We hope to see everyone there!

Happy Last Day of Classes Everyone! Just a reminder that tomorrow night is our annual holiday party! This year it is being held at the Hotel Lafayette from 7 p.m. - 11 p.m in the courtyard room. The dress code is semi-formal for the event. If there is a holiday song you just can't live without, be sure to add it to our holiday Spotify playlist! You can do so at:... https://open.spotify.com/playlist/38SxhyhqVB0rZChTQ2Xzjy or place the request within the google form here: https://docs.google.com//1h1DmMotUPo7DByBuPj3rjzY-P7/edit We are excited to see everyone tomorrow night! Please remember to drink responsibly and plan a ride if you need one. The metro line runs quite close to the Hotel and you can get dropped off at south campus or you can call an Uber or Lyft.

Hey Everyone! Did you see? We were highlighted in the National Chemistry Week Facebook album! Go check it out!
