    Rural Outreach Chemistry for Kids (R.O.C.K) is a volunteer organization founded in 1995 by Dr. 爱德华·P. Zovinka and the American Chemical Society-Student Affiliates (Chemistry Club). Through hands-on experiments and activities (using mainly household products), 它向当地K-12学校和青年组织免费展示了化学的重要性.

  • When can I get involved in undergraduate research?

    The chemistry faculty at SFU want you to get involved in research as a freshman.  你花在一个项目上的时间越多,你能学到的就越多,你对化学实验室的技能就越熟悉. 

  • 你们的班级有多大?如果我落后了,你们能提供帮助吗?

    We have small class sizes; fewer than 30 students for freshman year classes and fewer than 10 students for upper-level classes.  小班授课使教师有时间与学生进行个别辅导. The university also has free tutors available for all students.
