Chemistry Seminar Schedule
2021-22 Chemistry Seminar Schedule
As a declared Chemistry major, you must complete 12 seminars prior to your graduation. These seminars show you the breadth of the chemical related
enterprise, highlight research and inquiry occurring at universities, private
and public companies, government laboratories, research stations and more, and
provide opportunities for your peers to communicate their work to you.
The deadline for
Spring 2022 submission of webinar attendance forms will be May 18. There will be seminar cards at each
seminar for you to complete. Please turn these in at the end of the seminar; to
aid in record keeping we suggest taking photos of your seminar cards before
turning them in, in case of conflicting data.
Errors

University of North Dakota Virtual Open House
We are inviting undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing chemistry graduate studies to attend a virtual open house event on Saturday, April 24th 2021, 1-4 pm held by the Department of Chemistry at UND.
The event will include a welcome by our chair, an introduction of chemistry graduate programs and application process at UND, and a virtual meeting with faculty. Students will also have the opportunity to talk with individual faculty members in breakout sessions and interact with current graduate students. The leaflet with information about the program is attached.
To register, students should follow the link UND Chemistry 2021 Open House for a short (1 min) survey. The preferred response time is April 17, 2021, but students can join without preregistration. After the attendance of the program, we will send a UND Chemistry pen.
Please let us know if you have any questions about this event. We would be happy to answer any inquiries about graduate requirements or applications as well. Please feel free to contact the Chemistry Graduate Studies director, Dr. Guodong Du, at Guodong.Du@UND.edu or me at Alena.Kubatova@UND.edu.
Thank you very much and best wishes!
Guodong & Alena
Attend UND Open house and get the pen!
