The Chemistry Instructional Laboratory Support staff provides support and assistance to all Chemistry undergraduate laboratories. We are your first contact for the following teaching lab concerns:
· Safety
· Chemicals
· Glassware
· Supplies
· Equipment
· Instrumentation
We actively engage with faculty to insure that the teaching labs are properly provided for and help to implement changes to curriculum, as required. We also perform classroom demonstrations or supply the necessary components for faculty to do it themselves. In addition, we help to evaluate and support the activities of sponsored lab outreach programs.
