On June 20, 2022, the Chemical Society of Washington (CSW) Project SEED Committee hosted the four 2022 CSW SEED Students and their mentors for a networking and summer research kickoff event. During this 2 hour in-person event the SEED students were able to network with members of the SEED committee, amongst themselves, and with the attending university professors and mentors. In addition to making connections in an informal setting, the students and mentors also learned valuable information related to the CSW cohort of the ACS SEED program, thus enhancing their ability to succeed through connection with other members of the SEED program and giving them pertinent administrative information. SEED students learned about the mentors and committee members backgrounds, what brought them to DC, and options for them as they work their way through what kind of Chemistry, or other related field, they may be interested.
