In the spring, we took our first unified qualifying exams together after finals week (all passes!) and celebrated with a field-day at Klemgard Country Park. The organic chemistry division won the most events overall and took home the first GCS cup, which they will have to defend ferociously this spring. In the fall, GCS helped welcome new students to the department by organizing a department-wide BBQ to kick off the semester. We expanded our intramural offering to include softball and volleyball this year, participated in two hiring searches, and as always, funded chemistry graduate students to travel to conferences and advance their career goals. Thanks for a great year!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-container  wsu-align-item--center wsu-max-width--xmedium\" >\r\n    \n<article class=\"wsu-card  wsu-card--style-horizontal-25\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-image-frame wsu-image--ratio-1-1\">\r\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gcs_ChemGrads\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-chem\/uploads\/sites\/3146\/2024\/07\/instagram-logo.png\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-chem\/uploads\/sites\/3146\/2024\/07\/instagram-logo.png 2400w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-chem\/uploads\/sites\/3146\/2024\/07\/instagram-logo-396x297.png 396w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-chem\/uploads\/sites\/3146\/2024\/07\/instagram-logo-792x594.png 792w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-chem\/uploads\/sites\/3146\/2024\/07\/instagram-logo-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-chem\/uploads\/sites\/3146\/2024\/07\/instagram-logo-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-chem\/uploads\/sites\/3146\/2024\/07\/instagram-logo-2048x1536.png 2048w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-chem\/uploads\/sites\/3146\/2024\/07\/instagram-logo-198x149.png 198w\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(max-width: 2400px) 100vw, 2400px\"\r\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Instagram logo.\"\r\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"object-position: 50% 50%\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\/>\r\n\t\t<\/a>\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"wsu-title  wsu-font-size--large\">\r\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gcs_ChemGrads\">\t\t\t\tVisit us on Instagram\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-column\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"792\" height=\"1056\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-chem\/uploads\/sites\/3146\/2024\/07\/GCS-Picnic-792x1056.jpg\" alt=\"Chemistry students outside on a grassy lawn.\" class=\"wp-image-332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-chem\/uploads\/sites\/3146\/2024\/07\/GCS-Picnic-792x1056.jpg 792w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-chem\/uploads\/sites\/3146\/2024\/07\/GCS-Picnic-396x528.jpg 396w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-chem\/uploads\/sites\/3146\/2024\/07\/GCS-Picnic-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-chem\/uploads\/sites\/3146\/2024\/07\/GCS-Picnic-148x198.jpg 148w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-chem\/uploads\/sites\/3146\/2024\/07\/GCS-Picnic.jpg 1058w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":45,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"wsuwp_university_location":[],"wsuwp_university_org":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chem.wsu.edu\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/264"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chem.wsu.edu\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chem.wsu.edu\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chem.wsu.edu\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/45"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chem.wsu.edu\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=264"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/chem.wsu.edu\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/264\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":500,"href":"https:\/\/chem.wsu.edu\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/264\/revisions\/500"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chem.wsu.edu\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=264"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"wsuwp_university_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chem.wsu.edu\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsuwp_university_location?post=264"},{"taxonomy":"wsuwp_university_org","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chem.wsu.edu\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsuwp_university_org?post=264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
