Science at Evergreen

|| College Home Page || Science Overview ||

A few years ago, Fred Tabbutt, a chemist on the faculty at Evergreen, created a CD to show prospective students what's special about studying science here -
the distinctive curriculum
class sizes as small as those at private colleges
extraordinary access to equipment and faculty
collaborative learning
and what our students do after graduation.

He got Megan Brokaw and Justin Umholtz, a couple of senior science students who had studied with him as freshmen in an interdisciplinary program on the chemistry and politics of water, to be the narrators.

Then he got faculty from a number of the different sciences (Chemistry, Computing, Field Biology, Geology, Laboratory Biology, Marine Sciences, and Physics and Astronomy) to talk about work in each of their areas.

Finally, he had the clever idea of shipping a camcorder around the country by UPS to alumni going to graduate schools and working in industry and asking them each to get a friend to record them talking about their experiences at Evergreen.

he's finishing his Ph.D.

This site has transcripts of what people said on these videotapes, along with stills. There's an overview about the special features of studying science here, with photographs of students working in the labs and in the field during some Evergreen science programs. (An article Fred wrote about one of these programs, Water, was the cover article in a recent American Chemical Society journal.) The rest of the site shows faculty from different disciplines and alumni interviews.
