S. Dexter Squibb Lecture Series


The S. Dexter Squibb Lectures series was created to honor the retired UNCA Chemistry Department Chair, whose 30 years of dedicated service positioned UNCA as a leader in chemistry education in the southeastern United States.  The Series features nationally recognized chemistry educators whose goals reflect the spirit of Dexter's accomplishments.

The Lecture series is held annually during fall semester.
