Chemistry is infectious, even for an early morning 8:30 class.
Professor Konermann undoubtedly shares a strong rapport with his
students. He uses an array of teaching methods and examples to simplify
complex topics, and accommodate varying learning styles. Professor
Konermann’s passion for Chemistry combined with his genuine concern for
his students make him an ideal candidate for this award."
