Seminar Schedule
Seminars are held on Friday afternoon in room CB285 at 3:15 pm, unless otherwise noted.
Refreshments are typically served in the Chemistry Office prior to the
seminar at 3:00 pm.
  The department strives to offer a diverse and vibrant seminar
program. Each year leading researchers from outside the
department, as well as faculty and graduate students from Western,
present and discuss their cutting-edge research. This is an
excellent opportunity for students, faculty, staff, and visitors to
actively participate in the scientific community. In addition,
many outside seminar speakers are recruiting graduate students for their
respective programs and are eager to discuss their program.
All are welcome and encouraged to attend!
