Outreach
The Waldie Group actively participates in several programs that support academic year and summer research experiences for undergraduate students from all backgrounds. Kate is also involved in new initiatives in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology that support creating an inclusive environment for all members.
The RISE Program (Research Intensive Summer Experience) at Rutgers is a 10-week summer research program for outstanding undergraduate students. RISE scholars get the opportunity to participate in cutting-edge research while living on the Rutgers campus, as well as professional development programs and recreational activities. The Waldie Group has enjoyed hosting our RISE scholars!

The Douglass College RiSE Program (Women in Science and Engineering) provides academic and leadership opportunities, as well as mentorship and enrichment programs, for women who are pursuing STEM degrees. As part of the Douglass RiSE Program, Project SUPER (Science for Undergraduates: a Program for Excellence in Research) offer Douglass women the opportunity to participate in STEM research at Rutgers. The Waldie Group was happy to host our first Project SUPER student in Spring 2023, Sandra Ahmed. We wish Sandra the best with finishing her chemistry degree!
The CCB Diversity Committee has hosted a series of biannual mini-symposium in our Diversity in Chemistry Series. These events highlighted the careers of chemists from different backgrounds, and provide our students the opportunity to interact with new mentors and learn from their experiences in STEM. Each event featured three student-nominated guest speakers, and consisted of two sessions: a panel discussion session, and a seminar presentations session.
