The Project GreenLab initiative is focused on Green Chemistry education and outreach in southeastern Massachusetts, and is being developed and coordinated by faculty from Bridgewater State University (BSU) and regional community colleges. The overarching goal of Project GreenLab is to build regional professional expertise in green chemistry, and an educated workforce trained with the knowledge and skills to enter new career opportunities in green and sustainable chemistry. This presentation will provide an introduction to the GreenLab project, and outline our plans to engage students and faculty from BSU and the regional community colleges in Green Chemistry research and curriculum development, inspire K-12 students and educators, and provide outreach education to inform society about the role and impact of chemicals in our daily lives. Startup funding for Project GreenLab was provided by a BSU Presidential Fellowship award and a grant from the BSU Center for Research and Scholarship.
