Amy M. Deveau, Ph.D., professor of chemistry<\/a> within the University of New England College of Arts and Sciences<\/a>, was recently invited into the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) Project Kaleidoscope (PKAL) STEM Leadership Institute<\/a>, held virtually from July 20-23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The institute empowers STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) faculty and administrators in fully understanding the systems, structures, and influences of power and privilege within higher education, the AAC&U says, and equips them with the tools and skills needed to bring about social change and true reform in undergraduate STEM education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known by her students as \u201cDr. D,\u201d Deveau primarily teaches organic chemistry, general chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and organic structure elucidation as a faculty member in the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences<\/a>, where she regularly incorporates research into her course curricula, providing meaningful early exposure to research for STEM undergraduate students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deveau is serving her third term as a councilor for the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) and is the current chair of the CUR\u2019s Chemistry Division. A member of UNE\u2019s Center for Excellence in the Neurosciences<\/a>, Deveau’s research laboratory focuses on the discovery of organic small molecules with therapeutic potential across the areas of pain an addiction, as well as the design and synthesis of anti-infectives targeting human pathogens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognized as a Teaching Scholar by UNE\u2019s Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning<\/a> in 2020, Deveau is strong advocate for inclusive experiential education. She contributes as a member of the University Oversight Committee for Strategic Priority I, where she also co-chairs the subcommittee on experiential and active learning. Additionally, Deveau currently serves as a member of University Research Council and on the CASFA Ad-hoc Climate Survey Subcommittee.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I was truly honored to be nominated by UNE for the AAC&U PKAL Institute,\u201d Deveau said. \u201cThe experience was invaluable \u2014 it deepened my awareness of leadership best practices, change dynamics, and provided practical strategies that I can immediately apply to current and emerging projects. Furthermore, the broad AAC&U peer network and related collaborations will be both an asset and ally as I advance in my career.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
