North Central College, located in Naperville, Illinois will be hosting the 25th ChemEd conference from July 21st to 25th, 2019. North Central College is a comprehensive liberal arts college with a population of roughly 3,000 students. ChemEd takes place on a college campus allowing for hands on labs, workshops, and demonstrations. This biennial conference is one of the largest for educators involved in teaching Chemistry in North America. It is an opportunity for educators to gather together for five days to learn and exchange their teaching ideas in a friendly and motivating environment. ChemEd creates a community for dedicated and involved science educators.
The University of Waterloo hosted the first ChemEd in 1973. After 44 years, the conference has matured to include many traditions such as the Reg Friesen lecture, children/family programs, Mole Day breakfast, 6.02K Mole Stroll, and an end-of-conference celebration.
Naperville is a family friendly town, conveniently located 28 miles west of Chicago. Historic downtown Naperville is only a few blocks from North Central College’s campus providing a wide array of shops, restaurants, and entertainment. For a quick trip to Chicago, the Metra train station is a ten-minute walk from campus.
