We are please to announce that the Organic Division earned two ChemLuminary Awards during the Dedicated Ceremony at the ACS National Meeting in August 2025. The award citations are:
The Division of Organic Chemistry received the ChemLuminary Committee on Economic and Professional Affairs (CEPA) Outstanding Divisional Career Program Award for the Graduate Research Symposium (GRS) that allowed graduate students to interact with leaders from academia, industry, funding agencies, and publishers at a single venue. Workshops provide these students with valuable advice and insights as they are about to embark on their post-PhD independent careers. The Symposium is held each year in late July at a location in the United States.
The Division of Organic Chemistry received the Committee on Public Relations and Communications (CPRC) Outstanding Continuing Communications Program Award with the citation “The Organic Division strives to effectively communicate information relevant to the organic chemistry community by maintaining an up-to-date website and several social media channels. Their efforts have reached thousands of people across the globe.”
Our Division’s history is a testament to our commitment to excellence. We are proud of our numerous ChemLuminary Awards, which reflect our global leadership in scientific excellence and professional development. These achievements are a result of the tireless efforts of our ACS DOC volunteers, whose commitment helps promote progress in organic chemistry. We are honored by this national recognition and remain dedicated to advancing the field.
