ACS selects 4 new institutions to join the ACS Bridge Program

Abstract

The American Chemical Society Bridge Program is an effort to increase the number of chemical science PhDs awarded to students from underrepresented racial groups. This effort is achieved by providing students opportunities to attend transitional programs and partnering with chemical science departments that have demonstrated a strong commitment to supporting students of underrepresented races. This year, ACS is excited to announce that four new partner departments will join the ACS Bridge Program, making for a total of 44 chemical science departments that have participated since the program began in 2018. Congratulations to the new ACS Bridge partner departments for 2022: Florida International University Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry University at Buffalo Department of Chemistry University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Department of Chemistry University of Virginia Department of Chemistry If your department is interested in becoming an ACS Bridge partner, visit the ACS Bridge Program website at bit.ly/3fgZLRK .
