The Chemistry Resource Center is a model learning center on campus. Begun as a pilot program for a select group of general chemistry students in 1986, the Center has evolved to serve over 900 students per week with a part-time staff of 50 graduate students, faculty and desk assistants. The Center houses over 60 microcomputers ranging from low-end PC clones used as terminals for electronic homework in the general chemistry courses to high-end SGI workstations used for molecular modeling and visualization, which are equipped with software such as SPARTAN, GAUSSIAN, and Cerius2. Graduate teaching assistants staff the Center approximately 50 hours/week to assist students with graphing, homework, molecular modeling, laboratory writeups, and a range of other activities. The use of molecular modeling software has been introduced throughout the undergraduate curriculum and has been assisted by multiple grants from the Howard Hughes Medical Foundation and the National Science Foundation. Cutting edge research and education techniques meet in CRC to make it a vital resource of the department. (152 Goessmann Lab, 545-2159, www.chem.umass.edu/~crc/)
