SUMMARY:Perspectives of Careers in the Chemical Industry
DESCRIPTION:Register Today! \nFrom chemical manufacturing to components to final products\, there are many paths to careers involving green chemistry— you just have to know where to look for them. In this webinar\, three professionals working in the chemical industry discuss how they got to where they are\, what their companies are interested in and how it connects with green chemistry\, and what they would recommend to early-career scientists looking to pursue careers in the field. \n1. Linda B. Sedlewicz\, President/CEO–schülke inc. \nAs President/CEO for schülke inc.\, she is responsible for the introduction and promotion of the schülke preservative product lines across the U.S.\, Canada and Puerto Rico. A graduate of Rutgers University\, Linda began her career in the cosmetics industry over thirty years ago\, leading to a range of professional opportunities in cosmetics. With her technical and leadership skills\, Linda is recognized as one of the industry experts in the area of preservation of personal care products. \n2. Christoph Krumm\, Co-founder and CEO-Sironix Renewables \nFrom his PhD background in chemical engineering at the University of Minnesota\, he pursued entrepreneurial coursework\, accelerator programs\, and grant applications to receive over $3M in funding and partnerships to start Sironix Renewables. Sironix Renewables develops bio-renewable chemicals for consumer products. As a recipient of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers 35Under35 award for innovation\, he has grown Sironix Renewables to be an innovator in the renewable chemicals world. \n3. Maureen Kavanagh\, Senior Technical Manager-3M \nMaureen is a strong operations leader known for her passion of people and sustainability. Maureen is a Senior Technical Manager currently working for 3M’s Industrial Mineral Products Division. She has 13 years of experience as a scientist with 28 issued patents.

SUMMARY:Green Chemistry Student Chapters: Stories of Success at ACS NOLA 2018
DESCRIPTION:Join Beyond Benign and the ACS Green Chemistry Institute to celebrate model green chemistry student chapters at the ACS National Meeting in New Orleans\, LA. \nThe Green Chemistry Award has quickly become one of the most sought after accolades for student chapters. To be eligible for green chemistry status\, chapters must engage in at least three green chemistry activities per year\, ranging from community outreach activities to hosting invited speakers. This symposium will provide a platform for student chapters who have been awarded green chemistry status to share their unique strategies and stories. Through peer to peer student conversations\, more student chapters may be inspired and empowered to achieve green chemistry status.

SUMMARY:A Guide to Green Chemistry Experiments for Undergraduate Organic Chemistry Labs
DESCRIPTION:Green Chemistry has been widely adopted as a means for reducing hazards and waste in chemistry labs\, while maintaining the necessary rigor for teaching fundamental reactions and techniques. In a collaborative partnership between Beyond Benign\, My Green Lab\, and MilliporeSigma\, a new resource guide has been developed for undergraduate organic chemistry teaching labs. This guide provides educators with a set of safer\, greener alternative organic chemistry experiments to demonstrate key chemical transformations to undergraduate chemistry students\, and indicates quantifiable benefits when greener alternative experiments are implemented\, including waste reduction\, hazard reduction\, and cost savings. Join us on March 6 to learn more about using this new\, FREE\, customizable guide to educate the next generation of scientists to carry out experiments with sustainability in mind.
