Are there opportunities for outreach and tutoring or teaching?
Yes. The Department’s very active Chemistry Club, which is a student affiliates chapter of the American Chemical Society, hosts several events throughout the year, including the renowned Chemistry Magic Show on Picnic Day and the Chemistry Knowledge Bowl, a Q & A competition between undergraduates and faculty. It also presents chemistry demonstrations at local K-12 schools, and its members often tutor other undergraduates in chemistry courses. You should contact the Chemistry Peer Adviser if you are interested in tutoring other students. The Learning Skills Center also presents opportunities to tutor in chemistry, particularly in CHE 2ABC, 8AB and 118ABC. Their positions are listed on the student employment web site. Contact the Mathematics and Science Teaching Programs if you are interested in exploring K-12 teaching and related internships.
