Chem 147 - Careers in Chemistry and Biochemistry Seminar course is a weekly 90 min seminar course that has two key objectives. The first one is to share with Chemistry and Biochemistry majors some of the employment and career opportunities that are available after earning their UCLA degrees, as well as some of the strategies to approach a job search. The second objective is to network with seminar speakers, faculty, and fellow students in order to develop professional skills and seed future professional relations.
Each week a UCLA alumnus is invited to give a presentation that describes her/his career path in areas such as industry, government, research, development, education, law, health care, etc. Speakers describe how their education in Chemistry and Biochemistry helped them become successful and share with students the key skills and knowledge that have helped them advance in their professions. Each presentation is followed by a Q&A / discussion and a reception that gives the students an opportunity to develop a closer fellowship amongst themselves, speakers, and department faculty. The class meets on Mondays from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. in in Mol Sci 3440 (Cram Conference Room). The class is open to all Chemistry, Biochemistry, or Chemistry Materials Science Majors. A passing grade requires the following: attend and sign in at each class meeting, participation in a resume-writing workshop, satisfactory preparation of a job application and a resume for a sample job opening. No absences are allowed. The class is offered every quarter. It is not offered in the summer. |
