Did you know that …

Karen Wendling, Ph.D., assistant professor of chemistry, was recently named by Nerdscholar as one of their "40 Under 40: Professors Who Inspire,” thanks to nominations from students, alumni and faculty colleagues?

Congratulations to Wendling, who was described as "engaging," "collaborative," and "funny," by the students, alumni and faculty who nominated her. Wendling is in her sixth year at CHC, which also happens to be her alma mater.

"It's been fantastic getting to work at the college I once attended," Wendling said. "I still feel like I'm learning more and more from these excellent mentors."

In addition to teaching chemistry courses at the College, Wendling is also the co-coordinator with Patrick McCauley, Ph.D., assistant professor of religious studies, of the Harry Potter Conference hosted here every fall, something she cites as being one of her proudest accomplishments.
