The Frontiers in Chemistry lecture series hosts distinguished scientists from various areas of chemistry for three days of lectures and informal discussions with faculty and students. The program represents a unique opportunity to hear first-hand descriptions of current topics in chemistry, as well as indications of future directions for research from the world's leading scientists. The lectures are organized in pedagogical fashion and graduate students enroll in the Frontiers series for credit. The Department hosts several forums giving students the chance to interact with the speakers.
