Chair's Welcome
Welcome to the Younger Chemists Committee website! The Younger Chemists Committee was chartered by the American Chemical Society to address the specific needs of younger and early-career chemists. The YCC's vision is to lead younger chemists into successful careers and active roles in the ACS and the profession. To achieve this, the Committee relies on it’s strengths of diversity, influential involvement, and dedicated leadership. By leading the way in the use of technology and creating outreach opportunities for our constituency, we hope to change the face of the ACS and become the most influential Committee in the Society.
What does this mean to you? The YCC serves as a resource for younger chemists to find awards, start local section YCC's, attend national meeting programs relevant to younger chemists, and other information that is of importance to younger chemists, like articles on interviewing skills and grant proposal writing. Are we missing something? Let us know: talk to us on Facebook, by email, or in person at ACS naitonal meetings.
So whether you're seeking the most recent application form (PDF) for our Leadership Development Workshop, information about your local YCC, or a prepared presentation that you can use at a local or regional meeting, welcome!
Mick Hurrey
Chair, YCC
