On August 8, 2019, AirUCI will host several undergraduate Chemistry students from Reed College in a "UCI Day" event to learn about AirUCI research and our Chemistry department in general. We'll give presentations on atmospheric chemistry research and other helpful information as the students consider UCI for graduate school. AirUCI faculty Jim Smith and Professor Julie Fry of Reed College have a collaborative NSF grant and have developed a program between the two campuses that they call the “Near-Peer Mentoring Program” in which they have teamed up nine Reed undergrads with nine UCI...
