Development of a Green Chemistry Course at Davidson College... 

What this course accomplished at Davidson is not unique. Other standalone lecture courses in green chemistry have been developed by several people. These include, but are not limited to, courses developed by Penny Brothers (University of Auckland), A1 Matlack (University of Delaware), Terry Collins (Carnegie Mellon University), Richard Gurney (Simmons College), and Denyce Wicht (Suffolk University). At Davidson College and at other institutions, the development of novel green chemistry courses and the greening of traditional chemistry courses have been viewed as innovative by departments and administrators.

College Place has not yet developed a fully independent identity as jobs outstrip residences, and many residents are transient as they are among the 30,000 students associated with UNC-Charlotte. A distinct identity is further complicated by the fact that College Place crosses into Cabarrus County, touches the city of Concord to the northeast, and nears the three rapidly growing communities of Davidson, Cornelius, and Huntersville near the Iredell County line to the northwest.
