Welcome to the home page for the Chemical Engineering and Materials Science Council of Graduate Students (CEMS-COGS) at the University of Minnesota. CEMS-COGS was formed to improve communication between faculty and graduate students.

In the past, the CEMS-COGS has held career forums to educate students on different career options, worked with the Directors of Graduate Study to improve teaching assistant assignments, helped address student concerns regarding the availability of computer facilities, and developed a primer for second-year graduate students preparing for their oral exams. In the coming year, the CEMS-COGS will continue to focus on these issues as well as working with the faculty to identify department seminar speakers and help recruit strong faculty candidates.

CEMS-COGS also encourages CEMS students to serve in the University-wide student government, such as the Council of Graduate Students (COGS), the Graduate and Professional Student Assembly (GAPSA), the Student Senate, and various University committees.
