Advising & Tutoring

Balancing a chemistry course load along with the rest of your responsibilities can be challenging, but we are here to help. Whether the issue is personal, academic or related to career plans and opportunities, talking to your academic advisor is a good place to start.

We also offer tutoring options to chemistry students, in addition to university student services like the Academic Commons.

Advisors

Your academic advisor can support or direct you to the correct person to help resolve a problem.

Dear chemistry majors and chemistry minors,

If you have any questions, please reach out to us.  If you are a Chemistry major, please reach out to Dr. Wagner. If you are a Chemistry minor, please reach out to Dr. Massiah.  If you have a general question, please reach out to us at gwchemgwu [dot] edu (gwchem[at]gwu[dot]edu) and we will help you to find answers.

Be safe and be well.

Thank you,
The Department of Chemistry

Don’t forget about office hours! Faculty set aside time each semester for student visits. If you’re having trouble with a course, need feedback on a project or simply want to talk through an idea, visit your advisor or professor.
