Enrichment Program Calendar
The Roanoke College Chemistry Department encourages student learning in the classroom, in research laboratories, and in co-curricular settings. We require students in Chemistry courses to attend several co-curricular events each semester. Events range from service activities to research seminars to talks on science in everyday life.

Instructions for Online Poster Session: As you enter the Gather Town space, please create an avatar with your name and school. Your avatar moves with the arrows on your keyboard or mouse. Make sure to unmute in order to speak. The space is large, with the three poster rooms accessible through the brown garage doors in the upper portion of the lobby. When you approach a poster, Press X to enlarge it to full screen. Press Esc to minimize the poster. There is a toolbar at the bottom of your screen with additional (likely unnecessary) functionality.
