YCC (Younger Chemist)

About / Overview

The role of the NJACS Younger Chemists Committee is to promote the interests of members under the age of 35 (or close to that age).It provides graduate students, post-doctoral chemists, and young professionals with the opportunity to interact with other chemists in the section, to help them better direct their careers, and to increase their involvement in the ACS.

We do it through organizing social events, volunteering, networking and mentor/mentee opportunities, talks, seminars, and generally having a bit of fun. Membership is free.Visit us on FacebookWe have been revamping and reinvigorating the club in the last few years and have a host of new and exciting activities planned for this year.
