The Chemistry Graduate Students Association (CGSA) was founded in 1994 to provide a formal means of communication between chemistry graduate students and the faculty and administration. During the last three years, the CGSA has accomplished several goals. These include tasks from meeting with senior administration to discuss graduate student concerns, to social functions such as planning and organizing semi-annual departmental picnics.

Additionally, the CGSA performs many service projects for the department. Past projects include construction of the departmental recruiting booth and representing the department at regional and national meetings. During the grand opening of the new W. A. Baker Chemistry Research Building in March 1996, the CGSA led tours of the facility.

Many opportunities have presented themselves to our members. Recently, CGSA members participated with faculty in interviewing candidates for new faculty postion openings. Through these and other activities, the CGSA has provided a valuable resource for the department and has enhanced the professional development of our members.
