91ֱ����Ƶ

In mid-February, 2018 91ֱ����Ƶbecame the first institution in Northern New England to adopt the Green Chemistry Commitment (GCC).

The GCC is a program — administered and supported by Beyond Benign, a green chemistry education and outreach non-profit organization — for institutions of higher education that challenges educators and students to approach chemistry from a “green” perspective in order to solve problems in the 21st century. By signing on to this commitment, our Chemistry and Physics programs have pledged to further integrate green chemistry theory and practice into their curriculums, providing hands-on laboratory experiments, lectures from experts in the field, and emphasis on chemical toxicology, as it works toward meeting the shared learning outcomes that are central to the commitment.

By committing to the GCC, 91ֱ����Ƶjoins a consortium of approximately 40 other institutions of higher education nationwide which will share resources toward meeting common student learning objectives that are endorsed by leaders in the chemical industry. Participating institutions also receive feedback and support on an annual basis from leading scientists and industry partners in the field.
