"Contemporary instrumentation enables the enhancement of learning by allowing the merging of lecture and laboratory through rapid acquisition, analysis, and sharing of chemical data," Sherwood said. "This integration format can expedite analysis and create more time for discovering, thinking, and learning in the classroom."

Faculty forum, established in 1990, serves as a venue for the exchange of ideas and information among ¾¨Ó㴫ý faculty. Speakers present their research, teaching ideas, lectures, performances, special programs, and uses of technology to keep faculty informed about the work of colleagues from many disciplines.
