Schaap Chemistry Symposium

Thanks to the generosity of the A. Paul and Carol C. Schaap Foundation, and the success of our prior Schaap Chemistry Symposia in 2017, 2019 and 2023, the Hope College Department of Chemistry is pleased to resume this tradition on July 10-11, 2025.

The fourth biennial Schaap Chemistry Symposium will be on the Hope College campus in beautiful Holland, Michigan, featuring keynote speaker, Dr. Malika Jeffries-EL, Professor of Chemistry and Senior Associate Dean of the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences at Boston University.

 The details of this year's symposium are forthcoming, but we anticipate an increased focus on industrial chemistry and increased industry participation along with research university faculty and graduate students and Hope College faculty and undergraduate researchers.
