We are accepting applications for the Corrina Ewan Memorial Scholarship, for students in Chemistry with superior lab skills who are planning to pursue a career in either secondary or post-secondary education. The deadline to submit your application is May 31.
If you are unable to open the application from the link above, contact dsecchem@uvic.ca for a copy.
This symposium brings together researchers to discuss recent developments and current challenges, and future opportunities at the interface of the analytical sciences and nanotechnology.
Presentations will discuss:
• new techniques to analyze nanoscale and related materials
• use of, for example, nanoscale materials to develop new analytical techniques
• challenges and needs for analytical capabilities in nanotechnology
• importance to life sciences, energy, environment, and other sectors
The on-line platform through Hopin will open at 8:00 am on May 19, 2022. A series of invited oral presentations start at 8:45 am from researchers in academic, industry and government sectors. There will also be contributed student presentations. The event includes networking opportunities. A schedule of events for NanoLytica 2022 can be found here.
Attendance of this one day symposium is available to all registered attendees at a discounted rate thanks to the generous support of our sponsors. A link to the Hopin web portal will be provided to all registrants by email.
Students presenters will also compete for prizes.
Are you planning to graduate in June? The Department of Chemistry is planning a photo session with all undergraduate students who have applied to graduate this June.
Friday, April 8 at 12:15 at the Petch Fountain (in front of the library).
We hope you can be there to document your achievement!
Declaring your program is how you officially tell UVic what you want to study.
Stating your area of interest on your UVic application is NOT declaring your program.
Declaring means that you’ll be able to access your degree audit (called a CAPP report) and see exactly which requirements you’ve met, which you still need to register for, and what’s in-progress.
My name is Jenna Mehlmann and I am an INSPIRE Ambassador at the University of Victoria. My team and I are working on a project to create an Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity (EDI) helpline support system for all UVIC students through the new Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) program, INSPIRE: STEM for Social Impact (www.inspireuvic.org). We are looking for students who are willing to share the following:
Feedback suggests a need for students to be able to anonymously report incidents to be formally addressed by the university. We are currently gathering feedback from the UVIC community in the form of an electronic survey, and we would like to kindly request if you may distribute the survey link to your student email database. The feedback received will help our team gather information to discover the best solution for development of the EDI helpline at UVIC.
Electronic survey access: https://www.surveymonkey.ca/r/9R7JH2W
We are INSPIRE Ambassadors with INSPIRE: STEM for Social Impact, a program of research and community-based innovation at the University of Victoria that engages STEM students from underrepresented groups. We connect students with mentors from industry and the community to ideate and co-create solutions that address society’s most pressing challenges in sustainability.
If you are interested in participating and will be distributing the survey to your students, please contact me at jennameh@uvic.ca. Please let me know if you have any questions, as I am more than happy to answer any of them. Thank you for your time.
Kind Regards,
Jenna Mehlmann, BSc
INSPIRE Ambassador
Note – this volunteer opportunity can be included on your co-curricular record.
