Other Resources

The Cardinal Green Labs program provides resources specifically tailored for laboratories to help them operate as sustainably as possible.

The goal of the Chemistry Department Communication Policies and Guidelines is to establish a clear and consistent framework for how communication is managed within and outside the department. All members of the university are required to communicate in a way that is appropriate, respectful, courteous, inclusive, and accessible to all.

Stanford offers a variety of resources and services to students, staff and faculty who are concerned about sexual harassment and other forms of misconduct.

Due to liability issues, the Department of Chemistry allows no unpaid workers, interns or volunteers.  Exceptions are those sponsored through University visitor appointments (Registrar’s office, Dean of Research, H&S Dean’s Office), or high school programs (RISE, IFSS, see below).

Students 16 to 18 years old

Currently the youth programs that are most popular among high school students looking specifically for training in the field of Chemistry, are RISE and the Chemistry department’s IFSS shadowing program (see links below).

Students younger than 16 years are prohibited from working in university laboratories (see link to EHS doc below).
