Department of Chemistry News

 Summer 2013

Dr. Radha Pyati assumed the duties of Chair in the Department of Chemistry in July 2013. This is not the first time that Dr. Pyati has taken on significant administrative duties in addition to her duties as a faculty member in the department.   For several years she had served as Director of the Environmental Center.  Under her tutelage, that organization staged a number of campus-wide events such as Garbage on the Green, the ever-popular "dumpster diving" event where we find out just how much recyclable stuff we throw away.  She also was co-author/co-PI with several others on the St. Johns River State of the River Report and in securing significant funding for the Center.
