Why I Teach at °µÍøTV

Sue Martin, Laboratory Manager and Chemical Hygiene Officer; Adjunct Professor of Chemistry

“As an instructor, it is my goal to teach students to be outstanding scientists through teaching in the classroom and in lab, while striving to instill an enthusiasm for chemistry, a desire for knowledge, and a passion for learning. °µÍøTV has given me a wonderful opportunity to do that. I’ve learned much from °µÍøTV students, too, and enjoy interacting with them inside and outside of class/lab.”
