Iota Sigma Pi, a National Honor Society for Women in Chemistry

by at

Iota Sigma Pi, the National Honor Society for Women in Chemistry, invites female and non-binary CBC students to apply for membership. Their group includes professional women chemists, teachers, and professors, as well as undergraduate and graduate students in the field of chemistry or allied fields.

Why join Iota Sigma Pi?

  • Nationwide Presence: Active chapters across the U.S. offer in-person and virtual programs, including professional talks, field trips, and social gatherings.
  • Support & Recognition: Dedicated to advancing women and non-binary individuals in chemistry, with awards for both students and professionals.
  • Networking & Mentorship: Connect with members from industry, government, and academia. The group is large enough to constitute a meaningful network, yet small enough for everyone to get to know one another
  • Prestigious Legacy: Five members have won Nobel Prizes. Future talks may feature recent Nobel laureates like Carolyn Bertozzi, Jennifer Doudna, and Emmanuelle Charpentier.

To qualify, undergraduate students must be women or non-binary individuals who have completed at least 4 semesters (or equivalent) of chemistry courses and maintain an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher.

Applications are accepted online through Iota Sigma Pi’s website. Video instructions are available here.

If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Christine Hermann (Vice President of Iota Sigma Pi) at chermann@radford.edu or at 540-831-5413.

Attending industry partners will be primarily interested in students with data, technology, economics, and analytical skill sets.

Advanced research via Handshake is recommended to determine if a particular employer of interest will be in attendance and a good fit for your career advancement. You can also make an appointment via Handshake with a Career Coach to get assistance on your resume, interviewing skills, and/or job searches. Remember to bring your resume!

The Paper Trail UG Research Symposium

by at

The Paper Trail is an online, open-community journal club. Their mission is to create an informal space for scientists to discuss recent, groundbreaking studies with people of all ages and backgrounds.

The Paper Trail Undergraduate Research Symposium will be held virtually on November 1, 2023. It is an opportunity for undergraduate trainees to share their work, with a particular focus on trainees from groups traditionally underrepresented in STEM.

This symposium is for undergraduates who are planning to apply for graduate school* to share their research with an audience that includes professors looking to hire new graduate students.

*with the intention of starting grad school in Fall 2024

The event will include undergraduate research presentations, as well as timeslots for short lab overview presentations from faculty members interested in recruiting new graduate students. An event schedule is available on the symposium webpage.

Another goal of the symposium is to serve as an alternative to large society meetings that happen this time of year (e.g., BMES and AIChE) but are often difficult to attend because of any number of financial, personal, familial, or professional hurdles. There is potential for vouchers for graduate school application fees. Presenters will also be offered gift cards for lunch.

The deadline for abstract submissions is Thursday, October 12 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time.
