students in chemistry and chemistry-related fields of study.
The
GLCCC Career Day aims to bring together professional chemists and chemistry students for a day of
interactions in which: students learn more about jobs and careers for which
their chemistry background is needed; professional chemists meet their future
employees and colleagues; and companies have the opportunity to meet informally
with students who are currently or are soon-to-be in the job market.
