The CGLC organizes ChemSocial, which is held on every Friday at 5 pm from the first visit weekend in March through Halloween. Kegs of beer, boxes of wine, non-alcoholic drinks, and snacks are purchased by the CGLC on behalf of professors, post-docs, research groups, and others for the entire department to share on the Chem Plaza. Everyone is welcome to come and socialize Friday afternoons. Make sure to bring your ID if you wish to drink!
