Résumé Development: Marketing Your Brand for an Industrial Chemistry Position
Provides an overview of the content of a robust résumé for an industrial chemistry position. Participants will also determine best practices in terms of résumé content and formatting through analysis of résumé exemplars. This workshop will also elaborate on the components of résumé portfolio, including cover letter and research summaries.

Grant Writing Workshop
Ever wonder how you can improve the chances of your proposal being successful? What does the review panel really look for in a competitive proposal? This workshop will cover setting up the framework for a good proposal, common flaws in proposal writing, insights into the panel review process, and resubmission (if needed) best practices.

Active Learning Workshop
Active learning/Higher engagement (AL/HE) teaching pedagogies are commonly discussed in chemistry education reform. There are many reasons - supported by published evidence - for why chemistry faculty should make AL/HE a prominent investment in their teaching portfolio. But what is oftentimes missing in the discussion is how to actually do/carry out AL/HE in the classroom. This workshop focuses on 'how to do' AL/HE and involves Think-Pair-Share, Jigsaw, and Just-in-Time Teaching strategies the workshop presenter uses in both GChem 1 and OChem 1. No theory. Just doing. Just applying.

Trust in Science Presidential Workshop
This workshop is tailored for ACS members to use elements of humor to listen to and respond in conversations to other people's concerns, thoughts, and issues about a topic in science. Learn how ACS members can become trusted voices for science and scientists. Gain tools to equip members to advocate for this trust with all people - both those trained in science and those who are not. As chemists we know that despite the best efforts of all STEM professionals, even the greatest of scientific innovations and potential solutions cannot achieve their higher purpose if society does not trust and believe in the science and in the scientists telling the story.

Panel: New Two-Year College Guidelines
Saturday Morning 8:30-10:00 am
The two-year college guidelines were recently approved by ACS and can be used by community colleges to develop curriculum, improve infrastructure, create a safety culture, and further diversity, equity, inclusion, and respect (DEIR) in the chemistry program or department. Changes from the 2015 guidelines include three categories (Essential Components, Successful Practices, and Aspirational Goals) as well as dedicated sections on safety and DEIR. This panel will discuss the categories, the newest updates to the guidelines including recommendations on virtual lab experiences, and how to use the guidelines to develop your program. We will also discuss new initiatives sponsored by ACS focused solely on faculty in two-year colleges.

Panel: Community College Transitions
Saturday Morning 10:30-11:30 am
This panel will feature community college faculty and other community college stakeholders. Students in community college chemistry courses range from concurrently enrolled high school students, to adults returning to school, to new college students. Some students will transition directly to the workplace with an associate's degree, while others will transfer to a four-year institution. Panelists will discuss the various transitions and how faculty, institutional policies, curriculum, and services can better support students and aid them in achieving their educational goals.
