TA Appreciation Party Brings Students Together
The Department of Chemistry came together on May 4 to celebrate the teaching assistants who support undergraduate labs and courses. A total of 69 attendees - including 51 graduate student TAs, 4 undergraduate TAs, as well as staff and faculty - assembled in the Idea Forge Commons.
With allergy-friendly catering from Illegal Pete’s, refreshments, and a variety of board games, the TA Appreciation Party offered a relaxed space for conversation and connection. The gathering also highlighted the vital role TAs play in creating meaningful learning experiences for undergraduate students, recognizing specific TAs for their extraordinary contributions.
The Department of Chemistry extends its appreciation to all who attended, especially the lab directors Molly Larsen, Susan Hendrickson, Jacqueline Richardson, and Christopher Marelli, who made this event possible.
