Social Impact
Green chemistry education is at the core of a sustainable future.
“We need to make green chemistry education a more generalized and broad component to the education of all chemists and scientists.”
–Dr. William Tolman, Dept. of Chemistry, University of Minnesota
“Teaching students the principles of green chemistry through the lens of sustainability is exciting and fulfilling.”
–Ann Lambert, King Philip High School
“There are many students who are now interested in the sciences because of us Fellows and that alone has made this experience worthwhile.”
–Stephanie Intriago, Simmons College graduate
