Everyone I work with is invested in improving how we teach, and I see firsthand how hard instructors work to support students and help them succeed.
- Meet Rosemary Wonnell. Rosemary has been at the Department of Chemistry for over two years. She holds a BA in Linguistics, and before working at UW, she worked for Epic and in IT support. In the Undergraduate Chemistry Office, her role supports the operational tasks of more than 27 undergraduate courses serving several thousand students. She works with more than 20 different instructors to facilitate testing accommodations for students working with the McBurney Disability Resource Center. Rosemary also works with Maddy Henkel (also in the Undergraduate Chemistry Office) to assist with enrollment, scholarships, exam administration, and various other tasks that support undergraduate instruction. She says she feels lucky to work with such a fantastic team of dedicated, friendly, and fun people. “I’m not a chemist, but I’m grateful to work in a department where there is a genuine passion for chemistry, whether that is teaching chemistry or researching chemistry,” Rosemary says. Outside of work, Rosemary plays viola with the Edgewood Chamber Orchestra. She enjoys cooking, amateur photography, traveling to national parks, and reading the Chemistry Newsletter every Friday. (Editor’s note: Yay!)
