The UTM Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society chapter is sponsoring a presentation by its former officer Emily C. Bethart about her experiences as an exchange student in Germany. It’s scheduled for 7PM on Thursday, February 9 in Johnson EPS 317.

Bethart, a senior chemistry major, left in July 2005 as the first exchange student from the chemistry department to Technischen Universitat in Braunschweig, Germany for a 5-month exchange. She worked her “Praktikum” with Dr. Ullrich Engelhardt, the food chemist in the Lebensmittelchemie Institute, creating a standard definition for tea typing. She also enjoyed her German classes. Emily plans after graduation in May 2006 at UTM to return to Germany to work on her Masters degree in preparation for teaching chemistry and English at the Hochschule level in Germany.
