A Commission  appointed by American Chemical Society President  Bassam Shakhashiri has made recommendations for changes in graduate education in the chemical sciences.  This talk will report on the recommendations made by the 'working groups' of the commission.  These groups considered the structure of  departments in the chemical sciences, employment issues for graduate students, financial support mechanisms for graduate education, the current and future profile of chemistry graduate students, and the expectations graduate students have from their educational experience.
