Organic Chemistry II Lab at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill serves more than 800 students each year. For the second half of the semester, students are involved in a Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE). Through a partnership with David Nicewicz’s research group, a research module has been designed. Students are synthesizing and analyzing (NMR, UV-Vis, fluorescence, CV) photoredox catalysts. Then students test their catalysts in an oxidation reaction. These catalysts are examined further in the research lab for catalytic efficacy. This presentation will focus on incorporation of the module, use of graduate research consultants, collaboration, student outcomes, and student feedback from two years of implementation.<br/>
