Alumni Portal
Our students — those with us now, and those who were here in times past — have always been the heart and soul of the GVSU Chemistry Department. In recent years we have made it a goal to find ways to stay connected with our alumni to highlight the exciting things they are doing, and to better integrate Laker chemists from different eras. To do this, we have initiated a new alumni portal (see button below) — a one-stop place where you will find a variety of different ways you might reestablish a connection to the GVSU Chemistry family. Please consider the opportunities listed below!
Highlighting alumni success
If you have not done so already, check out the Alumni-in-action section on our website. Here you can learn about some of the great things our alumni are doing. Would you like to see your story there, or to nominate someone for this feature? We would love to hear from you, and there is a spot to let us know on the portal above. By the way, the connections we make through telling these stories have been known to lead to more extensive alumni spotlight features in the newsletter.
Help promote opportunities for GVSU students
Does your company have an internship program? Are you looking to recruit students to your graduate program? Do you know of other opportunities that we can share? The new portal gives you a place to let us know!
Impact students with your experience
Many schools have informal networks for alumni to serve as a resource to current students. Are you interested in talking to a Chemistry or Biochemistry major who is applying to the graduate school you attended or the company you work for? Are you using your degree in a non-traditional field, and feel that you could speak to students who might be interested in that area? We need your wisdom! Please let us know at the link above.
Staying connected through social media
If you are looking for a low-key way to stay connected, we maintain a presence on two social media platforms. The departmental LinkedIn site is a spot for professional connections, job opportunities and news about Laker Chemistry accomplishments. The Chemistry Stockroom maintains a Facebook page for social connections with everyone in the GVSU Chemistry family, and fun news about what is going on in the department. Connect with these sites at GVSU Chemistry and Biochemistry on LinkedIn and GVSU Chemistry Stockroom on Facebook.
