We are pleased to announce that the 51st Southeast Theoretical Chemistry Association (SETCA) meeting will now be held at the University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC from May 11-13 of 2023. These SETCA conferences have been held annually since 1970. SETCA is a loose organization of theoretical and computational chemists from across the Southeastern United States. Since its inception in 1970 by Prof. Bruno Linder of Florida State University, its primary function has been an annual conference to give faculty, students, and postdoctoral researchers an opportunity to present their most recent research results. The SETCA 2023 meeting will begin with a Python workshop on Thrusday for undergraduates, and will run through noon on Saturday. We are looking forward to a vibrant mix of invited and contributed talks, poster presentations and scientific discussions.
