The Spring Career Fair is open to current students and recent graduates who would like to network with employers and learn about internship or career opportunities offered by the 185 organizations in attendance. Whether your professional interests lie in the health sciences, government, Fortune 500 companies, or non-profit organizations, there is something for everyone! From ASC Career Services: “STEM students, particularly those interested in health and medical related careers, will be able to network with over a dozen research hospitals, laboratory research companies, and medical service providers. Other scientific organizations such as Los Alamos National Labs, and Hill Air Force Base offer substantive career opportunities in research.”
Experts recommend preparing yourself to get the most out of this event. You can research the roster of attendees either through the event website or the OSUCareerFair+ smartphone app, or review the ASC career fair tip sheet!
2005 CBC Alum, Dr. Greg Drozd, presented at the American Chemical Society Conference this past August on “How cars could meet future emissions standards: Focus on cold starts”. Greg graduated from OSU in 2005 with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry then went on to receive his Ph.D. in Philosophy, Atmospheric Chemistry from Carnegie Mellon in 2011. He decided to travel to Columbia University where he was a Postdoctoral Fellow, and is now a Postdoctoral Researcher at UC Berkley in the Department of Environmental Science. Watch Greg below and see what you too can accomplish in your future!

The Ohio State University
I chose to become a chemist because it satisfied my need to know why. Chemists study all the way down to the fundamental particles that make up matter, and this is foundational to all other work. I liked the idea gaining an “atom’s view” of the world and seeing how little pieces make significant contributions to all that we know. I have gained a greater appreciation for the world around me and for the things I see every day. Chemistry is central to the world and thus interdisciplinary. I had opportunities to explore portions of other specialties that interested me like physics and materials science.
As a graduate student in the Chemistry Department at Ohio State, I worked identifying the structural attributes responsible for specific properties. This expands the realm of smart design. The ability to pick and choose desired properties and then design a material with that potential is sought for the great impact it will have on all aspects of research and life. This broad goal drew me into the solid-state chemistry scene. It is fascinating to study a material’s properties, and then look more closely at the structure and consider both in parallel. Electronic and magnetic behavior is closely tied to the connectivity of atoms. The factors responsible for properties are numerous such as bond angles, bond distances, crystal shape & size, distortions, impurities, lattice strain, atomic structure, relative positions of atoms with each other and more.
Our department has many faculty members conducting cutting-edge research and a strong staff dedicated to the teaching mission. As a CBC student you can participate in undergraduate research with our faculty and contribute to the advancement of world scientific knowledge. Our courses and labs are designed to give you a firm understanding of all chemical divisions: physical, inorganic, organic, analytical, biological. Through a variety of upper level courses offered and research potential you are able to further study your area(s) of interest. Along the way, you have access to form mentorships with members of our department, our graduate students and your peers. There are a number of ways to be connected to our department, and you can tailor the experience and your degree to meet your needs and career goals.
