College of William and Mary
The Department of Chemistry at William & Mary cultivates a broad community of scientists and seeks to introduce Green Chemistry in a floor-to-ceiling approach throughout the department’s curriculum and research activities. The fundamentals of Green Chemistry are introduced in General Chemistry. These tools are further refined in Organic Chemistry courses, upper-division electives, and faculty-mentored research activities. The Department is dedicated to showcasing Green Chemistry and “how chemistry impacts health, the environment, and society”.

Short term: implementation in general, organic, inorganic, and advanced (senior-level) elective lecture courses, greater implementation in laboratory settings (teaching and research);
Long term: development and sustained offerings of Environmental/Sustainable Chemistry coursework at the undergraduate and graduate levels, tighter connection between safety protocols in laboratory practices and greener procedures.
