The Silicon Valley ACS has a mentoring program for prospective chemistry transfer students!

The main objective of the Paving the Path (PTP) program is to help students from underrepresented groups in STEM transition from community colleges to 4-year institutions. The program includes 1-on-1 mentoring as well as group forums involving all program participants to focus on financial literacy, building confidence and community, personal and career development, and professional networking.

Long term, the goal is to help build a system of support and resources for chemistry transfer students from community colleges in our region.

Would you recommend community college faculty or staff who would like to stay abreast of PTP activity that would benefit their students? Please send their names and email addresses to ptp@svacs.org.

Feel free to reach out to us with any questions, comments, or suggestions so that we can better serve our chemistry community!
