A Joint North Jersey and New York Section Activity

Mission:

The mission of the MWCC is to strengthen the contribution of women in the chemical sciences. We serve early and midcareer scientists through programming and invite graduate and undergraduate students to participate.

MetroWomen Chemists Committee / Younger Chemists Committee On Thursday May 28th, twenty women of the Metro Women Chemists Committee gathered at for a networking dinner at Taro Eclectic Asian Cuisine restaurant in Montclair. Dr. Anita Brandolini, an Assistant Professor at Ramapo College gave an informative and insightful presentation titled, “Petrochemicals to Pedagogy: From Industry to Academia.” It was a wonderful opportunity to meet, interact and network with women in the North Jersey / New York area. Between the presentation, the conversation and of course the scrumptious chocolate cake, a great time was had by all. The MWCC fall networking dinner will be Thursday, September 17th at Fairleigh Dickinson University at 6:00 pm. More details will be posted here.

We are planning to do this at least twice a year, in the spring in North Jersey and in the fall in New York. For more information, contact Amber Charlebois, .
