Want to get involved? Run to be on the Younger Chemists Committee of the Chicago Section! We are currently taking nominations for the 2011-2013 term. You can nominate your self or someone else here.

The Younger Chemists Committee of the Chicago Section of the American Chemical Society mission is to identify the needs and concerns of younger chemists and develop programs responsive to these needs. By cultivating communication and interaction between Chicago area young chemists, YCC hopes to broaden not only the horizons of our members but of those around us.

Chicago YCC Goals:
1. Increase involvement of younger chemists in the ACS at all levels by making the ACS relevant to younger chemists
2. Help younger chemists pursue a career in chemistry at many levels (graduate school, post doc, industry, and academics)
3. To build a network of engaged volunteers that contribute to the Chicago science community

Membership: You are a Younger Chemist (1) if you are under the age of 35 or (2) if you have been in your chemistry career less than ten years. Academic and industrial chemists, post docs and graduate and undergraduate students are all included!

Committee: The Committee is made up of 5 members and 1 chair. Current members are: Adam Thomas, Chair; Cecelia Gondek, Lisa Fredin, Julia Lin, Andreea Stuparu, and Elizabeth Wiltrout
