The goal of the Midwest Retreat for Diversity in Chemistry is the retention of underrepresented groups in chemistry careers and their advancement into leadership roles. We aim to teach graduate and post-doctoral chemists a positive and proactive approach to their careers. Specifically, we will connect attendees to a close-knit network of colleagues and mentors, teach strategies for career success, and increase awareness about factors that influence their career paths.

Update: Friday, March 20, 2:30pm,

In these uncertain times, we want to do our part to inhibit the spread of COVID-19. Therefore the Midwest Retreat for Diversity in Chemistry, originally scheduled for May 29-31, 2020 in Parkville, MO, at Park University is postponed. 

We are looking at later dates and we will be sure to let you know what is decided as soon as we can. 

Please contact mwrdc@iastate.edu with any questions or concerns.

Best, The MWRDC Planning Committee
