ChemEd Summit
A recent event hosted by the Department of Chemistry at NC State with the College of Sciences, industrial and government partners, alumni, and both ACS leaders and staff. This is an excellent example of how the ACS can serve as a hub for interfacing chemists in academic, industrial and government labs.
“Laura was extremely supportive when I reached out to her during the planning of the ChemEd summit seeking her help in connecting me with members of the ACS to secure panel participation and contributions to discussions related to the current landscape and future shared visions of chemical sciences education. She promptly provided support and facilitated crucial connections that significantly contributed to the summit's success.”
