Mission Statement:
The UNH Chemistry Graduate Student Association (CGSA) is an organization which serves to represent the graduate students and postdoctoral scholars of the chemistry department. The primary objective of this association is one which enhances both the social and professional experiences of our students. This objective is accomplished by hosting official meetings to encourage open discussion between our department's students, faculty, and staff. Additionally, our chemistry community is strengthened by regularly-planned events that are fun and safe for everyone.
Centered around this objective are three core values to be upheld by the CGSA:
- Academic Integrity
- Professionalism and Respect
- Collaboration and Inclusivity
The CGSA hopes to create an inviting space for all students to feel comfortable sharing their ideas, comments, questions and concerns while also ensuring their voices are heard and respected.
