Grad School Preview Program - UW-Madison

After a successful inaugural weekend in 2012, the UW-Madison Chemistry Department will be running its second preview program to give students (mostly minority/disadvantaged) an opportunity to visit Madison and the Department in October 2013, before applications for grad school are due. We hope to attract 25 or so college seniors to the CHOPs (CHemistry OPportunities) program, which will be held October 17-19 in Madison. More information and a link to the application is available at chops.chem.wisc.edu.

We would like to introduce UW-Madison Chemistry to students who may not consider Madison as a first choice for graduate work. We would be very grateful if you could forward this email to your rising juniors and particularly seniors who may be considering starting graduate work in Chemistry in Fall 2014 (mostly) or 2015. We understand that some of you may not be directly associated with the Chemistry Department at your school, but would really appreciate it if you could forward to your colleagues in Chemistry.

The success of our first program has persuaded us that this will be an annual event, so if you keep track of Preview programs, we would appreciate you adding UW-Madison Chemistry to your list.
