“ Green Chemistry Throughout the Curriculum” Project Goals
�Design a suite of experiments that exemplifies the principles of GC for use at all levels of our laboratory curriculum.
�Develop these experiments in such fashion that they demonstrate an intentional thread, illustrating GC principles throughout the chemistry curriculum.
�Design these experiments such that they are based upon work reported in the contemporary chemical literature.
� � � � � � � � � � � �
�Increase student awareness of the principles of GC throughout our curriculum
�Produce future scientists who will be leaders in the implementation of GC in their workplace.
�Tie in the principles of GC with the ethical perspective central to St. Olaf College’s mission statement.
“ Green Chemistry Throughout the Curriculum” Project Goals
� � � � � � � � � � � �
�Demonstrate that the use of GC provides a guiding principle for the design and use of our new science building and other future science buildings.
�Provide a model for a green chemistry laboratory experience suitable for use at other colleges and universities.
