Date: August 17th 2011

Are you interested to network with other COMP chemists and/or learn
about what it’s like to work in industrial and academic environments?
Will you be attending the upcoming national meeting in Denver?

If so, make the most of your annual meeting experience and join us for
our COMP mentor lunches. Enjoy a free lunch and the opportunity to
network!

Please join us in Denver, where we will offer an academic mentor lunch
and an industrial mentor lunch on Tuesday, August 30 at noon. Groups
will meet outside the COMP symposia and then depart for lunch at a
local restaurant. Lunches are limited to the first 10 people who sign
up; sign-ups are done through the COMP Together website. Please
indicate which lunch you are interested to attend by selecting and
registering for either the academic or industrial lunch. If you have
not yet registered for the COMP Together network, you must do so
before you can sign up for the event (the registration link is
provided on the sign-up page):

COMP Mentor Lunches
As part of our ongoing initiative to bring computational chemists
together and provide new venues for networking, COMP offers the
possibility for junior members to have lunch with senior researchers
at the national meetings. The goal is to allow for networking in an
open, relaxed setting and to promote discussions about possible career
paths in academia and industry. Academic mentees will be able to meet
with professors and receive application and interview tips in time for
the upcoming academic recruiting season. Industrial mentees can
network and get the inside scoop on what it’s like to work in
industry. All are welcome.

We also welcome and encourage COMP members to become part of the COMP
mentor network as industrial or academic mentors. Please contact
Rommie Amaro ( ramaro@uci.edu ) if you are interested in being a COMP
mentor or with general questions about COMP mentoring initiatives.
