College of DuPage, a very large community college in suburban Glen Ellyn, will celebrate its 40th anniversary next fall. From its start in numerous sites around the district to the current campus, the college and the chemistry program have developed into a nationally recognized institution and a well-regarded department. The chemistry program has grown from local high school chemistry laboratories to the existing facilities with a state-of-the-art building scheduled to open in the spring of 2009. We are at the forefront of education for the first and second year of undergraduate education and are recognized for producing well-prepared students who transfer to senior institutions to complete their education.
