ACS Florida Chemistry Conclave 2016.<\/p><\/div>\n

The American Chemical Society <\/a>(ACS) student chapters at the University of Central Florida (UCF), Rollins College, Stetson University, and the Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) hosted the first-annual Florida Chemistry Conclave<\/a> at the UCF main campus on Saturday April 2, 2016.<\/p>\n

\"Guest

Guest Speaker Dr. Bob Rolle tells Conclave attendees about his distinguished career in industry and explains how they can position themselves for success in the chemistry profession.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Conclave is a professional-development workshop that brought 75 chemistry undergraduates together from across Florida for a day filled with research, networking, volunteering, and fun.<\/p>\n

The workshop included free lunch and refreshments, student-research presentations, networking with professional chemists, information about graduate studies in chemistry, a Family-Feud style chemistry competition, and a fun paper-recycling outreach event. A closing address on professional development was delivered by Dr. Bob Rolle, a member of the Orlando Section of ACS (OS-ACS) with over 30 years of experience in industry.<\/p>\n

The event was organized by student-leaders Lauren Gandy (UCF), Brian Letang (UCF), Jennifer Lear (UCF), Alice Ma (Stetson), and Jaime Fields (Stetson) and by OS-ACS members Dr. Stephen M. Kuebler (UCF), Dr. Harry Price (Stetson), Dr. Rudi Wehmschulte (FIT), Dr. Yi Liao (FIT), and Dr. James Patrone (Rollins).<\/p>\n

The Conclave was co-sponsored by the Orlando Section of ACS, Stetson University, and UCF’s Department of Chemistry, College of Sciences, Graduate College, College of Engineering, and CREOL, The College of Optics and Photonics.<\/p>\n

Dr. Jana Jasinksi, Associate Dean of the UCF College of Graduate Studies, tells students about how to pursue graduate studies.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Conclave was also supported by an “Inter-Chapter Relations Grant” awarded by the national ACS and prepared by UCF students Lauren Gandy and Oscar Tarano and Dr. Stephen Kuebler (UCF).<\/p>\n

The proposal was jointly submitted by the student-ACS clubs at UCF, FIT, Rollins, and Stetson. Letters of support and guidance in the preparation of the proposal was kindly provided by the OS-ACS Executive Board, Dr. Darlene Slattery (OS-ACS), Dr. Harry Price (Stetson), Dr. James Patrone (Rollins), Dr. Yi Liao (FIT), Dr. Rudi Wehmschulte (FIT), ACS@UF, Dr. John Reilly (Florida Gulf Coast University), Dr. Uma Swamy (FIU), and Dr. Mark Kearley (FSU).<\/p>\n
