Welcome to Chemia!
Chemia is the undergraduate chemistry student organization at Boston University. We offer free tutoring for General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry (and occasionally Biochemistry, Physical Chemistry, and Inorganic Chemistry). We also host events like information sessions about research opportunities and graduate school for students. Follow our Instagram @buchemia for the most up to date information!
We tutor on Mondays and Thursdays from 6pm-8pm in SCI103A (the room across from SCI109). More information about tutoring can be found on the “tutoring” page.

Passcode: chemistry
Abstract
Paths to careers and academic credentials vary from person to person. And, these pathways involve decisions regarding majors, schools, and careers which are not made in a vacuum. Individual pathways are both deeply personal and inextricably linked to external societal factors. Pathways exist in individual experiences, within programs and institutions, between various institutions, and link academia to the workforce. This talk will be an open discussion on the importance of an effective workforce and our role as a STEM community in achieving this goal.
Chemia tutoring will start next week (2/1), at our regular hours on Zoom. Monday and Thursdays, 6-8 pm.
See you soon!
Best,
Chemia Team
