“If we are not given support at a personal level, our educational and professional potential is going to be directly affected," says Jesús Dones-Monroig, @rtraines group member and founder of @MIT_CADI18.https://t.co/ePgnLjiAak pic.twitter.com/euaajUTunr

Check out this article about supporting graduate students published in Science last week here!
On Wednesday, February 27th, the CADI board held an informal “meet and eat” for the chemistry undergraduate students. Over pizza, the current members of CADI explained our organization to the undergraduates, fostered new connections and explored various ways to support all members of the chemistry community. We are looking forward to future collaborations!
This year, the Chemistry department has started its very own application assistance program. The Chemistry Application Mentorship Program (CAMP) seeks to provide assistance to individuals applying to MIT’s Chemistry Department for graduate school. It is a volunteer-based, student-run program that matches applicants with current graduate students in order to provide assistance for traditionally underrepresented groups in graduate school. CADI is happy to work with the department in order to support individuals from various backgrounds through the application process. For more information on the application process and the requirements and to complete the application to be a part of CAMP, see the department’s page here.
