Environmental Chemistry Colloquium (ECC)

Every summer we hold a colloquium where all graduate students present their current research in 15 minute talks. It's an exciting opportunity to learn about the research in the Environmental Chemistry department as well as a great chance to mingle outside of a lab setting. The ECC is always capped off with a delicious barbeque, specially catered by our very own faculty!

ECCXIX took place May 6th-7th, 2019 organized by Laura Stirchak and Sivani Baskaran. Contact the 2020 organizers, Sivani Baskaran and Zilin Zhou for details about ECCXX.
