Career Planning
The Career Education Center at Georgetown University provides several valuable resources to students looking to enter the workforce. Among the services and resources the Career Center provides are:
- Career education
- Alumni career networks
- Career expos
- Guidance for job seekers (assistance with resume/curriculum vitae development, tips for interviewing, and suggestions for salary negotiations)
Of particular note to chemists looking for careers in research are several websites: American Chemical Society’s ACS Careers, ScienceJobs.com, ziprecruiter.com/Jobs/Chemistry, and Chemjobs.net.
Library
Georgetown’s library system—consisting of seven libraries—serves as an invaluable resource and provides access to over 2.8 million volumes and over 35,000 print and electronic journals. The Blommer Science Library, conveniently located on the third floor of the Reiss Science Building, houses the science collection and provides thorough information services for chemistry students. Opened in April 1970, the Joseph Mark Lauinger Library serves as the largest library on the university’s main campus. Chemistry students are afforded access to the Medical Center’s Dahlgren Memorial Library. Students have borrowing privileges with the Washington Library Research Consortium and enhanced access to the Library of Congress.
Also of particular note are several other resources researchers may find helpful in their search for materials:
GEORGE. GEORGE is the online library catalog that brings together all of Georgetown’s libraries.
Electronic Databases for Chemistry. Georgetown’s Lauinger and Blommer Science Libraries provide and maintain a list of databases specifically designed for chemistry research.
ACS Journal Search. The American Chemical Society maintains an extensive database of journals and publications.
Campus Safety
For information regarding Chemical Safety, please visit Georgetown University’s Department of Safety and Environmental Management (SEM). SEM also offers information on laboratory safety, fire safety, and environmental affairs.
More generally, the University provides information regarding personal safety on campus through the Office of University Safety.

General Chemistry Department Of Peer Tutoring Programs
NOTE: A graduate student may not tutor any student in a course which they are also a TA for in the immediate quarter. Should this occur, both individuals will be promptly referred to Student Judicial Affairs. For example, if you need tutoring for CHE 2A, you may not be tutored by any graduate student who is currently a TA for any instructor of CHE 2A.

Research is an integral part of our curriculum. Students will carry out short research projects throughout the curriculum in their regular classes, and are encouraged to work in faculty research labs to pursue an independent research project that can culminate in an undergraduate thesis. Many students choose to perform research with Chemistry & Biochemistry faculty, while others choose to pursue research opportunities elsewhere. Ohio State offers well-equipped laboratories which contain sophisticated instrumentation for research. Whenever our department is made aware of research opportunities for our students, whether the opportunity is within the department, elsewhere within the university, or at another institution, students can find it on our Undergraduate Blog.
Participation in undergraduate research benefits students educationally, professionally, and personally.
