Congratulations to University Distinguished Professor Karen Wooley, recipient of the 2021 Eminent Scholar Award from the Aggie Women Network and the Office of the President.
It was a pleasure to gather together (in person!) as a department to honor three colleagues: Karen Wooley, for her election to the National Academy; and Don Darensbourg and Mike Rosynek, for their retirements after decades of service to our department and the profession.
Whoop! The Department of Chemistry is ranked
#9
among public institutions and
#21
overall, buoyed by its traditional strength in inorganic chemistry, which continues to rank
#2
among publics and
#5
overall within the discipline’s specialty programs.
Apply to our REU program in Sustainable Chemistry!
Application deadline February 15.
Program runs May 31 - August 5.
Great research, great people, great fun!
