Department Welcomes the 2025 Incoming PhD Cohort

The Department of Chemistry is delighted to welcome our incoming class of PhD students for Fall 2025.  Earlier this week, the cohort joined us for orientation, where they had the opportunity to meet faculty, staff, and fellow graduate students as they begin their journey in our program.

Jay Bolan, Graduate Program Manager, had the honor of welcoming the new students on behalf of the department, sharing resources, advice, and encouragement as they embark on this exciting next step in their academic careers.  Reflecting on the day, Jay remarked, “It is always exciting to meet a new class of students. In addition to learning about their research interests and plans for the future, I get to begin forming relationships with them and get to know them as people.”

We look forward to seeing the contributions this talented group will bring to our research community and to supporting them as they grow as scholars, teachers, and colleagues in the years ahead.
