Our program has agreed that green chemistry and sustainability in the curriculum is valuable not just from an educational standpoint, but also to help engage our students in changing climate of our field. Our college’s mission is that our students make a consequential impact on society, and one way we can do this is by equipping them with the tools to make rational decisions related to green chemistry and sustainability.
