WITS is the Chemistry Department's Teaching Circle - an informal, monthly, discussion amongst interested faculty, of current issues related to teaching Chemistry.  The WITS program was initiated as a complement to the WINSS (Whats New in Science Seminar) program, which itself was designed to bring interested Chemistry faculty together to discuss current research in the department.  WITS meets on the 2nd Monday of the Month (excepting August, December, and April), over lunch (liquid refreshments provided).  In late Fall 2002, Chemistry Department graduate students interested in possible academic careers expressed interest in creating a WITS-like discussion group focused on their Professional Development needs and concerns.  As part of that program, and if appropriate, at least one WITS per term will be organized around a topic of joint interest to faculty and future faculty, and open to both groups.
