The college is pleased to announce the new Associate Dean of Undergraduate Affairs, Roya Maboudian. Since 1993, Roya has consistently exemplified excellence in research, teaching, service, and leadership.
College of Chemistry graduate student Christiane (Chrissy) Stachl who received the Deans Outstanding Student award for demonstrating remarkable vision, commitment, and success as the President of the Chemistry Graduate Life Committee, and for her contributions to creating opportunities to promote equity and inclusion within the Chemistry Department.
The Chemistry Graduate Life Committee and the Graduate Student Advisory Committee have jointly launched a new crowdfunding campaign to support diversity, equity, wellness, and inclusion initiatives for graduate students at the College of Chemistry. The program's purpose is to help combat some of the issues that underlie underrepresentation, as well as support overall equity and wellness within the College's graduate community. They plan to do this through sponsoring social hours, educational events, seminars and speaker programs. But, in order to be able to make these events a reality they need your financial help.

The Berkeley Chemical Biology Graduate Program began as a way to support students as they rotated through different labs. Now, 20 years in, the program has grown far beyond a series of lab rotations. The 15 to 20 students who join the program each year – coming from both the Division of Chemistry and the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology – can expect in-depth mentoring, coursework, speaker series and symposia that prepare them for a range of jobs. The program has proudly served as a blueprint for many other institutions building their own chemical biology programs. While grant...
Two talented undergraduate teams, with members from the College of Chemistry and Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IEOR), competed in this year's USA national L'Oréal Brandstorm competition in New York City in April. Both teams made it to the final round, with a third place tie out of approximately 150 teams nationwide. The first and second place winners will go onto France to compete in the finals later this year.
Jeffrey Reimer, Professor and Chair of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (CBE) commented, “I am not surprised to see our students do so...
