G201 - Service Learning
The Department of Chemistry offers CHEM-G201: Service Learning in Chemistry. In this course, students work within the community by doing volunteer work to foster interest, knowledge, and appreciation in the sciences. Students in the class teach basic chemistry concepts to local children through a hands-on, child-centered pedagogy with a focus of having fun.
The Department of Chemistry has built a strong network to support our students’ career development by establishing relationships with potential employers and offering career counseling through faculty mentoring. The department has a very active undergraduate research program, teaches courses for chemistry career planning and service outreach, and also offers the opportunity for undergraduates to teach. Students are also encouraged to explore careers by volunteering, joining professional organizations, and studying abroad.
The Department of Chemistry also offers a variety of employment opportunities such as academics, scientist positions, laboratory technicians, administrative and information technology support, purchasing, technical services (machinists, electronics, glass blowers), student and teaching services, and much more.
