In collaboration with colleagues from the College of Education, we provide externally funded professional
development workshops for in-service teachers ($0.5 million Improving Teacher Quality grants in the last 8 years)
…. excite children about STEM careers via outreach programs.
(100% of Chemistry faculty participated in externally funded $0.5 million IMPACT and REACH
programs)
Faculty are passionate about doing research
