Please email the Director of Graduate Studies for the School of Chemistry, Dr. Kenyetta Johnson (Kenyetta.Johnson@chemistry.gatech.edu), for additional information. In the message, please mention your citizenship and the aspect of your identity that is underrepresented (such as gender or racial/ethnic group) or if you are a first generation student.
