Academia

About:

The ACS Division of Chemical Health and Safety (CHAS) is offering this 3.5-hour workshop primarily directed at frontline researchers in academic institutions: graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and undergraduate students.

This workshop discusses the challenges of students making the transition to being independent researchers in academia. Topics discussed include: risk assessment of research projects, understanding the often confusing safety hierarchies of academic institutions, and graduate student-led Laboratory Safety Teams.

Workshop goals are to:

The green chemistry certificate provides students with a theoretical and practical working knowledge of the principles of green chemistry and would be an excellent choice for students with an interest in industrial careers. There are two options for earning the certificate, option one requires 18-23 credits, and option two requires 12 credits.

Course Highlights: 

A Certificate in Green Chemistry will be a strong curricular addition to the degrees offered at Grand Valley State University. This 13-14 credit hour Certificate in Green Chemistry provides students at Grand Valley State University with a foundational knowledge of green, benign chemistry and its principles. This certificate can be completed in one calendar year, if all prerequisites were completed previously.

This 3-course program from the University of Washington is intended to give graduates the tools to make a difference and find success by learning to design safer chemicals and industrial processes.

Pricing: $910 per course

What you will learn:

Secondary school educators or graduate students who manage chemical storerooms or teach with chemicals will find this course useful. Concepts of safe chemical management are highlighted using the RAMP (Recognize hazards, Assess the risks of the hazards, Minimize and manage the risks of the hazards, and Prepare for the unexpected and emergencies) risk management system in this 10-hour course.
