Virtual Tour Stop #5
Meeting a few other people.
Here we have three people who have a lot to do with the smooth operation of the Chemistry Department. Jiro Fujita, at left, one of our own CU grads is our instrumentation specialist. Sharon Abboud, in the middle, is our department's administrative assistant. At right, Jason Sunde, another one of our chemistry major graduates, now runs the Stockroom.
Here are our three professors of ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY: From Left: Drs. Erin Gross, Gary Michels, and Dave Dobberpuhl.

Our BIOCHEMISTRY professors are Drs. James Fletcher and Juliane Soukup. Our course in biochemistry is relatively new to the chemistry curriculum and is very popular among the chemistry and biology majors.

Here are two pictures from the lab portion of the biochemistry course.
Three chemistry majors visiting with Dr. Dobbs about their results.

Return to Main Tour page.

Tour Stop 1. Meet the freshmen faculty and visit a General Chemistry lecture and lab.

Tour Stop 2. Meet the sophomore faculty and visit an Organic Chemistry lecture and lab.

Tour Stop 3. See our instrumentation.

Tour Stop 4. Visit an undergraduate chemistry research laboratory.

You are at Tour Stop 5. Let's walk through the Chemistry Department and meet a few people!

Tour Stop 6. Join us for some fun!

Tour Stop 7. Daily life of a chemistry major.

Our PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY professors, (L-R): Drs. Mark Freitag, Robert Snipp and HollyAnn Harris teach several upper division courses for the chemistry majors as well as General Chemistry (Tour Stop #1). Chemistry majors also take physical chemistry laboratory, math concepts and elective courses from these two. Ask Dr Snipp about playing the role of the Ghost of Christmas present at the Omaha Community Playhouse. Ask Dr. Harris about cats, baseball, music, etc.

These handsome look-alikes are from Minnesota and their fathers were born in the same small town of 200 people! Both are INORGANIC CHEMISTS and both earned their Ph.D.s under the same director at the University of Minnesota. They teach Advanced Inorganic Chemistry to the senior chemistry majors and General Chemistry to the first years. Ask Dr. Mattson (L) about his favorite chemistry demonstrations, and ask Dr. Anderson (R) about the logistics of cooking an annual Chemistry Christmas Dinner for 100!

Students are our most important commodity! Here we can see them in their natural settings: Studying in the hallway....

....and studying in the seminar room....

....with pizza....

....studying at 7 AM....

....and just "hanging out".
