What is special about the Department of Chemistry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To me, chemistry at UMW means many things. It means opportunity, community, endless knowledge, and unwavering support. The chemistry department has provided me the opportunity to further my knowledge of chemistry in many ways both through my courses and my participation in undergraduate research and through this, the chemistry department faculty continues to always provide their support. I am leaving Mary Washington with a much deeper knowledge and appreciation of chemistry which I owe all to UMW\u2019s chemistry faculty and department.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
