Our capacity for excellence in research and teaching is a direct result of hundreds of friends and alumni coming together to support the department’s work each year. With your help, we are educating the next generation of leading scientists, advancing the field of chemistry, and accelerating vital scientific discoveries.
In the past year, your gifts have made a tangible impact on:
- Recruiting the top graduate student applicants by providing generous fellowship support
- Strengthening research programs by expanding professional development activities, salary support, and lab equipment through endowed professorships
- Supporting undergraduate students by funding awards and scholarships
- Investing in staff through continuing education and training
- Sustaining the culture, community, and education of students and postdocs by funding lectures, community building events, and student clubs
As we look to the next year, we see significant potential: to invest in our research infrastructure, to provide professional development and research opportunities for our undergraduate and graduate students and postdocs, to advance equity and anti-racist practices in the chemical sciences, and to continue to transform the undergraduate and graduate education in the chemical sciences at the UW. Donor support – both annual gifts and endowment funding – will play a major role in helping us achieve this vision. We hope you will consider investing in our students, faculty and research with a gift today.
