For current UCLA Bruins... who want to support other Bruins! Donate $8 in honor of the 8-Clap and feel the true Bruin spirit.

As of 2016, the top 75 U.S. chemistry departments (in NSF rankings of chemistry research spending) had 2,196 total professors, but only 51 Black professors. That’s 2.3%.

Help cover some of the costs of hosting a world-renown Black scientist for the inaugural event (virtually) and toward future in-person events which will help us reach and collaborate with a broader community.

In 2016, there were only 656 Black U.S. citizen or permanent resident chemistry graduate students.

Honor UCLA's graduating class with your gift made in support of the scientists of our future.

Covers the cost of one lecture—including honorarium, travel expenses, and catering to create a sense of community and the celebration of research excellence.
