<\/p>\nA major grant from the National Science Foundation – Division of Undergraduate Education, the Course Curriculum and Laboratory Improvement – National Dissemination Program was awarded to support a proposal “A Series of Workshops in the Chemical Sciences.” The grant was for the period 2001-2003. In order to administer the complex situation of offering more than fifteen five-day workshops for approximately 15 participants annually, we established the Center for Workshops in the Chemical Sciences (CWCS).<\/p>\n
A renewal grant was awarded for the period 2004-2006. Then the NSF – Division of Undergraduate Education, the Course Curriculum and Laboratory Improvement – Phase 3 Program awarded the CWCS a grant for the period 2006-2010. Most recently, the NSF Division of Undergraduate Education, Transforming Undergraduate Education in Science (TUES) Program awarded us a grant for 2010-2015. With this award, the CWCS was rebranded as the Chemistry Coalitions, Workshops and Community of Scholars (cCWCS) to more accurately reflect the expanded scope of our activities.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As part of the deveopment of the Communities of Scholars, the Forensic Science Scholars website was created.<\/p>\n

For information on my Forensic Science workshop, see my page specifically for the\u00a0forensic science workshop<\/a>. While I have taught 25 forensic science workshops under the auspices of CWCS since 2001, in 2009, I coordinated a special Forensic Science Workshop for alumni of previous workshops.\u00a0See the schedule and pictures of the activities at this workshop<\/a>.<\/p>\n As a consequence of my work in forensic science and my interest in evidence and the admissibility of scientific evidence, I was part of the team teaching in the\u00a0Legal Studies Program<\/a>\u00a0(now called Justice and Law Studies) for about 10 years and chaired the Program for 6 years from 2006 through 2010. This interdisciplinary program is designed to give students a background and framework for understanding the law as a means of regulating human behavior and resolving disputes among individuals, groups, and governments.<\/span> Chemical Education A major grant from the National Science Foundation – Division of Undergraduate Education, the Course Curriculum and Laboratory Improvement – National Dissemination Program was awarded to support a proposal “A Series of Workshops in the Chemical Sciences.” The … Continue reading ![](\"https:\/\/web.williams.edu\/wp-etc\/chemistry\/lkaplan\/line.jpg\")
