Planning to participate in research this summer? The Benkovic Summer Research Award can help you fund your chemistry RU experience.
Resource Room Evening Free Tutoring Schedule - 6:30 - 10:30 PM Sundays through Thursdays in 205 Whitmore
Undergraduate and graduate student researchers are invited to present posters showcasing their work and to learn more about technical careers. Prizes will be awarded for the top three posters, and student presenters will have the opportunity to network with professional scientists during the event.
Penn State chemistry majors have opportunities to work with some of the best research groups in the world on projects that have the potential to impact many of the most important issues facing our society today. Each year nearly seventy-five percent of our majors work in a research group during the academic year or the summer term.
Student Spotlight
Every chemistry major at Penn State has a different story about how they discovered their passion for science. For third-year chemistry major Ashley Saunders, the light-bulb moment came in middle school when she attended a law and CSI camp.
During her first year as an undergraduate, Kuzio took an elective that changed her way of looking at the world—literally. “I took an art history elective and fell in love with the subject,because I knew I still wanted to continue pursuing my degree in chemistry, I was determined to find a way to study the intersection of science and the arts.”
From the classroom to the lab, innovation is always in the air at Penn State. We are always working to offer students exciting and challenging educational experiences, in and outside the classroom. Keep reading to learn how we’re leading the way in education and research!
