Our Laboratory for Water Quality will be hosting the 3rd Southside River Rendezvous on September 10th. A great chance to get outside, do some citizen science, and help understand water quality in our local watersheds.

A community-wide creek-finding, water-sampling adventure!

As we begin a new semester, we're happy to welcome Dr. Connor Wright to the chemistry & physics department. Dr. Wright earned his PhD from Univ. of Wisconsin- Madison in physical chemistry. He'll be teaching CHEM 1151, CHEM 1212, CHEM 1212L and CHEM 1211L this semester.

As we wrap up the summer and gear up for classes to start on Monday, we've been highlighting some activities of our majors this summer. We already shared what Kelise and Khoa were up to. We also had Tram Nguyen at Harvard Medical School completing a summer REU working on a bioinformatics project. We are so proud of our chemistry students and look forward to seeing you all next week!

Some of our chemistry majors are hard working this summer at their research experiences. Kelise (2nd from the right) is away at the University of Kentucky. Her project is titled: "Unsymmetrically Functionalized 2-isocyanoazulene and its Electron-rich Metal Complexes".

For many, summer is a time to rest and recharge. For several of our chemistry students, they're even busier. One of our students, Khoa Nguyen, is away at Georgia Southern participating in their CEMITURE REU program. Congrats Khoa and we look forward to hearing about your research in the Fall.

Congratulations to our Spring 2022 graduates: Afzal, Arya, Anthony, and Rohan. During the "glassware breaking ceremony" our graduates could finally get permission to break a few beakers and let off a little steam. Congrats to Afzal who was one of the student commencement speakers.
