Testimonials

My primary goal is to make biochemistry meaningful and accessible for non-science majors. Student comments that the course felt more about learning and less about memorization tells me that the Engelhard approach helped students engage with biochemistry as a way of understanding themselves and the world, rather than as a set of facts to retain for an exam.

Michelle Bertke

Associate Teaching Professor, Department of Chemistry

I was excited to teach my first-year colloquium as an Engelhard course. By integrating the Engelhard framework, I aimed to foster a deeper awareness of the connections between academic success and personal well-being, helping students develop habits and mindsets that support their overall health during their transition to college life.

Jessica Kritz

Assistant Professor, Department of Global Health

The Engelhard Project is made possible by an endowment from the Charles Engelhard Foundation, with additional support from alumni and parents.
