About CPDO
The Chemistry Professional Development Organization (CPDO) was founded in 2009 in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Michigan to enhance the professional development opportunities available to chemistry and chemistry-affiliated graduate students and postdocs from diverse backgrounds. Based on data from the Winter 2009 graduate student and postdoc survey, info sessions, and ongoing evaluations, we have developed programs and collected on-line resources within three broad areas related to professional development:
- Career options exploration
- Professional skill development
- Community, communication, & resource building
All UM chemistry and chemistry-affiliated graduate students and postdocs interested in enhancing chemistry professional development are encouraged to get involved with CPDO, whether by attending a CPDO event, by sharing ideas with us, or by joining our organization.
