We are pleased to announce the fifth national conference devoted solely to undergraduate computational chemistry, to be held at Hamilton College in Clinton, NY, from July 26 - July 28, 2006. This conference is a great opportunity for undergraduates to learn about the breadth of research in computational chemistry, particularly in interdisciplinary topics, and to discuss their work with other undergraduate computational chemists as well as some leaders in the field. For faculty, this conference will be an opportunity to generate a network of computational chemists at undergraduate institutions, fostering collaboration and developing a sense of community in the field.
