The Saint Anselm College Chemistry Department requires students to do research with a department member as a requirement for graduation. Many students perform more than the required number of hours for additional credit or pay. All students are required to present their research at various events and conferences throughout their academic careers. These presentations of all students who do research in our department are showcased here:
