chemARC hosts DECADE

by

This month the chemARC will be hosting the newly appointed DECADE Mentor for the chemistry department, Prof. Jenny Yang. The meeting will provide students in the department an opportunity to learn more about the role DECADE will be playing in promoting a more equitable and supportive climate in our community. We hope to provide a platform for students to speak directly with a faculty member to share ideas, voice concerns, and offer suggestions to improve the department climate. We will also take some time to reflect on the quarter and discuss what chemARC hopes to achieve in 2021!

Please join us if you can. If you need external support of any sort, reach out! Our email address is ucichemarc@gmail.com.
