This short workshop for inorganic chemistry faculty will focus on the use of the VIPEr website as a teaching resource and engagement with the Interactive Online Network of Inorganic Chemists (IONiC) community. Participants will create and contribute new learning objects to the website. The workshop is scheduled to start with late afternoon on Wednesday, June 28 and will conclude at noon on Saturday, July 1. Preference will be given to faculty members from HBCUs
or HSIs, those who have not previously attended a VIPEr workshop, and/or
new faculty members. We also encourage post-docs on the job market during the 2023-2024 academic year to apply.
Our invited speaker will be Professor Robert Gilliard of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Professor Gilliard is an internationally recognized main group and late transition metal chemists most recently having been awarded the Harry Gray Award for Creative Work in Inorganic Chemistry by a Young Investigator in 2023.
The current plan is for the workshop to be held in person, with vaccine and masking requirements consistent with Morgan State policies. All meals and lodging will be provided.
The deadline for applications is April 15, 2023.
