About Us

FOCUS (Females of Chemistry Uniting Scientists) is a student-run seminar series and community outreach program whose purpose is to promote awareness and understanding of the scientific achievements of prominent females within the field of chemistry, an underrepresented group in science. FOCUS promotes awareness of women’s achievements to inspire and encourage females, minorities, and other members of the scientific community.

In 2023, FOCUS will be starting a mentorship program where an undergraduate student would be paired with a graduate student. The two would meet on a predetermined schedule, and this pairing would provide a resource and support system to both members.
