Conference access fuels career growth for Oregon State chemistry graduate students

For graduate students in chemistry at Oregon State University, conference season is more than a professional milestone — it’s a launchpad for future careers. Each year, students share discoveries and gain experience presenting their work, but conference travel is costly, and not all research groups can fund the experience. This Dam Proud Day, we're rallying to offset these costs to ensure no budding scientist is kept from this important milestone.
