Who are we?
Chemistry Division Chair: Joseph Reczek, Denison University
CUR was founded in 1978 by a group of chemists from private liberal arts colleges who wanted to provide information about research that was being conducted at liberal arts colleges by faculty, often in collaboration with students. Although CUR now welcomes members from all disciplines, many of CUR’s current programs were initially designed and implemented by chemists.
The Chemistry Division of CUR provides networking opportunities, activities, and resources to assist chemistry administrators, faculty members, students, practitioners, mentors, and others in advancing undergraduate research.
