The chemistry department at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University has had a remarkable summer securing two grants totaling $799,632 from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

The grants will support innovative changes to the chemistry department's curriculum, state-of-the-art equipment and scholarship support for chemistry students at CSB and its partner institution, Saint John's University.

The 2011 chemistry department grants followed on the heels of CSB's largest previous grant from NSF, $599,950 in December 2009 to fund MapCores, a scholarship and curriculum program for women interested in the fields of math, physics, computer science and engineering.
