Did you know that UCCS Chemistry & Biochemistry is the only higher-education department in Colorado that has signed a commitment with Beyond Benign to integrate green chemistry—environmentally sound chemistry—into all its first-year labs?

Not only do UCCS Chemistry students have opportunities to work with groundbreaking researchers in multiple subfields of chemistry, but they also enter their major and their careers with the ability to develop chemical processes and ask chemistry-related questions that recognize the human and environmental impact of their work.

Instructors Tisha Mendiola Jessop and Niki Juhl are working hard to make green chemistry accessible to everyone.
