化学

The 化学系 courses at UWF are typically small, allowing our instructors to pay attention to individual students. Nevertheless, our laboratories are inordinately well-equipped with modern instrumentation. We pride ourselves on giving students hands-on training with state-of-the-art instrumentation, so our graduates are extremely well-prepared for the job market and professional or graduate school.

化学 welcomes back 贝思卡尔霍恩 at the UWF/American Chemical Society Industry Career Event.

The UWF 化学 with the support of a grant from the American Chemical Society hosted an Industry Career Event. Ascend代表, Cytiva Lifesciences, 佛罗里达执法部门, 珀加索斯实验室, 胞浆素技术, and Separation Systems participated in a panel discussion with students about industry careers. 在小组讨论之后, we held a “career fair” style event where students had an opportunity to speak directly with industry representatives about potential internships and openings. We also recognized the first female graduate from the chemistry department, 贝思卡尔霍恩, 谁在工业界有35年以上成功的职业生涯. She was able to talk to students about her experiences over her career.
