Irvin J. Levy Irv Levy is Professor of Chemistry and Chair of the Department of Chemistry at Gordon College in Wenham, MA, where he has served on the faculty since 1985. His professional interests in chemistry are primarily related to the development of educational resources for green chemistry. Current projects involve the creation of green organic chemistry laboratory experiments, the introduction of toxicology into the chemistry curriculum, and community outreach via green chemistry. With his students’ help, he has introduced thousands of people to the principles of green chemistry through the development of his Greener Organic Literacy forum program. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, Program Chair of the ACS Division of Chemical Education, and a board member for the Beyond Benign Foundation.
Catherine H. Middlecamp Cathy Middlecamp is a professor in the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her scholarship lies at the intersection of science, people, and the planet. Sustainability education, especially in the context of using the campus as a living-learning laboratory, is the focal point of her graduate student team. She was the editor-in-chief for the 7th and 8th editions of Chemistry in Context, a 25-year national curriculum project of the American Chemical Society that engages undergraduates in learning chemistry in the context of real-world issues. Working on the project since 1996, she has served as the lead author for the chapters on air quality, acid rain, ozone depletion, polymers, food, nuclear energy, and sustainability. Middlecamp is a fellow of the AAAS (2004), a fellow of the ACS (2009), and the chair of the ACS Division of Chemical Education (2016).
