Please join the Division of Chemical Health and Safety (CHAS) from 4:00 – 5:00 PM EDT on Thursday, August 21st for our next virtual CHAS Chat: Green Chemistry Resources and Solvent Alternatives. This free, interactive discussion will begin with a demonstration by the Assistant Director of the ACS Green Chemistry Institute (GCI), Edmond Lam, of two GCI resources: Reagent Guides and an Acid-Base Selection Tool. Xavier University Teaching Professor Kendra Denlinger will then discuss how to apply green chemistry and sustainability to teaching laboratories. Higher Education Content Manager at Beyond Benign, Monica Soma Hensley, will close the presentation portion of the CHAS Chat with an introduction to this nonprofit organization and their teaching and learning platform.

The CHAS Two-Year College (2YC) Community of Practice welcomes individuals who are interested in chemical health and safety in two-year colleges and similar institutions. To support faculty, staff, and students at such institutions, the Community hosts CHAS Chats on a quarterly basis. You do not need to officially join the 2YC Community or be affiliated with a two-year college to join the CHAS Chat. Contact Dwayne Henry at Dwayne.Henry@montgomerycollege.edu with any questions.
