Call for Volunteers: Join the Careers Beyond Academia Task Force

The Strategic Planning Oversight Committee (SPOC) of the Division of Chemical Education is seeking motivated and collaborative volunteers to serve on a new task force focused on expanding awareness and support for careers beyond academia.

As career pathways for professionals with expertise in chemical education and chemical education research continue to evolve, this task force will play an important role in identifying opportunities, building community resources, and supporting members exploring diverse professional trajectories.

Why Volunteer?

Participation in this task force offers an opportunity to:

  • Contribute to an important and growing area of member support.
  • Help shape programming and resources that will benefit the broader chemical education community.
  • Collaborate with colleagues across institutions, sectors, and career stages.
  • Expand your own professional network and understanding of career opportunities in and beyond academia.

We welcome volunteers from all career stages and professional backgrounds, including those with experience in industry, government, nonprofit organizations, educational technology, publishing, informal education, workforce development, and related fields.

If you are interested in helping build meaningful resources and programming for the community, we encourage you to volunteer and lend your expertise to this initiative.

We look forward to working together to broaden awareness of the many impactful careers available to professionals in chemical education.
