WFU/Dublin: Molecules and Mischief: Organic Chemistry 2 (Summer)

This course is a prerequisite for upper level Chemistry classes, and a required course for applying to medical school. The structure of the course will provide plenty of time to learn the material as well as explore Dublin and surrounding areas. The excellent public transportation system provides easy access to many fun locations.

I have been teaching at Wake Forest for 16 years. I grew up in Illinois and have spent time in California, New Jersey, and Wisconsin. I do research with undergraduate and graduate students; we study the mechanisms of reactions catalyzed by gold. In addition to organic chemistry, I love to read books, go on long runs, and play table top games with my family.

Passport Information
Students need to check their passport’s expiration date and ensure that it will be valid for at least 6 months after the program’s end date.

Students going on a summer program need to make sure their passport is valid through at least mid-February of the following year.

US passport holders who need to renew their passport should visit the U.S. Department of State’s passport website for information on this process.

Non-US passport holders who need to renew their passport should refer to their home country’s passport office.

Visa Information
If you are a US citizen, you most likely will not require a visa for your summer abroad program. If you do, details will be shared with you by GPS. Non-US passport holders should check with their host country’s embassy or consulate to find out if a visa is required for their program or not.
