The Alpha Gamma chapter of PLU is determined to promote an enjoyable and broad learning experience for chemistry graduate students at Northwestern University. We enhance each member’s ability to become active in the department and the greater chemical community by providing volunteer opportunities and holding social events and career panels throughout the year. The chapter also sponsors the annual Marple-Schweitzer Lecture, where we recognize graduate-level excellence in research, teaching, and activism through a series of awards. Additionally, we encourage conference travel by offering a series of travel grants. More about PLU activities at Northwestern can be found through the links on the right of the screen.
