Important scientific discoveries introduced in the undergraduate chemistry curriculum typically involve discoveries from a large majority of white men and a small representative group of white women.  Diversity in Chemistry (https://sites.google.com/view/diversityinchemistry/home) is meant to change that narrative.  Students can be introduced to chemists of diverse backgrounds at the beginning of each class or lesson with little impact on the time spent needed on teaching content.  The heightened visibility of minority role models will bring awareness of the impact of underrepresented groups in chemistry.  At Metropolitan State University, pre- and post-surveys have been administered to understand students diversity awareness and attitudes. Initial study results will be discussed analyzing the impact of Diversity in Chemistry in the classroom.
