The College of Chemistry Alumni Association hosts annual events for each of the era groups. It also has a presence at each year’s Homecoming and Cal Day activities, sponsoring faculty lectures and informal get-togethers. In addition, the alumni association assists in planning receptions for Berkeley alumni at the American Chemical Society and American Institute of Chemical Engineering annual meetings. Newly minted graduates are honored and welcomed at an annual “Springfest” celebration. The association also holds panel discussions at which alumni offer current students diverse perspectives from a wide range of careers in industry, government, academia, and other professions.
