Chemistry Department Seminars
Chemistry Department Seminars will take in-person in SL110, unless otherwise noted. Some seminars may be also be broadcast online and recorded. For access to online seminars and/or recordings, please see the Majors Canvas page or contact the chemistry department at chemistry@wwu.edu.
The department strives to offer a diverse and vibrant seminar program. Each year leading researchers from outside the department, as well as faculty and graduate students from Western, present and discuss their cutting-edge research. This is an excellent opportunity for students, faculty, staff, and visitors to actively participate in the scientific community. In addition, many outside seminar speakers are recruiting graduate students for their respective programs and are eager to discuss their program. All are welcome and encouraged to attend!
Current Seminar Schedule
Seminars will be in-person in SL110 throughout Fall Quarter 2022, unless otherwise noted.
IN-PERSON Seminars typically take place on Friday from 3:15-4:15 pm in SL110.
