CU Denver Chemistry Club
Chemistry is a multifaceted field, ranging from medicine, research, education, and beyond. The objective of the University of Colorado Denver Chemistry Club is to build a community at the University that appreciates Chemistry and would like the opportunity to wholly experience this field. Through volunteer opportunities, research exposure, and lecture series, the club strives to not only achieve this goal, but to build a better connection between the students and faculty of the Department of Chemistry.

Vice President

I am Faith Montemayor, a third-year biochemistry major/cognitive behavioral neuroscience and biology minor. As the former chapter president of Alpha Phi, as well as the current vice president for Chem Club, I have advanced leadership and organizational skills as well as experience in running a successful student organization. I'm also co-supervised by Dr. Hai Lin and Dr. Emilie Guidez in computational chemistry research. After graduating, I plan to pursue a PhD or MSTP program, seeking a career in research. My passion for chemistry has motivated me to work on expanding the chemistry club, and I hope to continue to build our outreach and traditions in a space where everyone can share their passions and support others on their journeys in chemistry!
