- support the needs of Honours and graduate student in the school
- give us all a chance to hang out outside of the labs!
- give us a chance to engage with staff and student from other groups
- give 3rd year students a chance to meet some grad student (so we can warn them!)
In addition, CHAMPS is the connection between the student body and the School of Chemistry, so if you want help with something, come say hi! We’re probably at Cinque Lire…
