The 2026 Community of Practice (CoP) is a cohort of faculty members that are interested in implementing green chemistry content into general chemistry or foundation courses using methods that actively engage students in learning.
The 8-month program consists of monthly virtual gatherings (90-120 minutes on Fridays) from January to November (no sessions May-August). Participants will learn about and practice implementing green chemistry content into courses, using low barrier active learning techniques, and implementing alternative grading methods.
The faculty member participants will receive a $5,000 stipend for attending at least 7/8 sessions, producing an active learning module to be shared with the chemistry community, and for acting as a peer editor for another author.
