Ohio Northern University Chemistry Department Joins Global Green Chemistry Commitment

Ohio Northern University is celebrating April and Earth Day by becoming even greener.

The Ohio Northern University Getty College of Arts & Sciences Donald J. Bettinger Department of Chemistry/Biochemistry recently became a Green Chemistry Commitment Signing Institution.

This commitment complements the department’s ongoing efforts to integrate green practices into its curriculum and lab operations, and it opens up more opportunities for networking, professional development, and grants.

Green chemistry refers to a commitment to minimize waste, use safer chemicals, and prepare students for careers in a world increasingly focused on environmental responsibility.

ONU joins 224 colleges and universities around the world in this growing movement.

While ONU’s chemistry/biochemistry department was already moving toward a “greener” approach to operations and curriculum, the Green Chemistry commitment will enhance and add to those efforts, she added.
