Our Values

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Notre Dame welcomes people with unique backgrounds and perspectives, recognizing the valuable scientific and social contributions that result from a community with a broad range of personal and professional experiences. We aspire to create and sustain a welcoming, transparent, and fair Department for all of our students, staff, and faculty. We are also committed to cultivating a strong sense of belonging and a training environment that emphasizes scientific excellence, impeccable professionalism, and preparation for success in the global chemistry community. We proudly support our Chemistry Graduate Student Organization (CGSO), whose members seek to build a supportive departmental community by offering social activities and professional development opportunities. To maintain a collegial climate and a principled workplace, the Department promptly addresses all forms of harassment and the perpetuation of harmful stereotypes and misconceptions.
