Overview
The Department of Chemistry is implementing a five-year reorganization plan designed to:
- increase capacity to serve a growing number of students
- nurture exceptionally innovative research collaboration
- enhance outreach programming that engages the larger community and attracts new sources of support
When complete, this strategically ambitious reorganization will allow the Department of Chemistry to better address the complex challenges that vex a rapidly changing world and position UW–Madison to compete for talent and grant monies with top-flight institutions that have made similar changes.

These FAQ’s will be updated as we progress and learn more about this transition.
The organizational chart did not accurately convey how the department functioned, so we are in the process of correcting that issue. We are also working to make sure that our organizational chart is in line with our peer departments. In addition, we are preparing for Matt Sanders’ future retirement, and must make sure the functions associated with his position are handled by the right people, once he leaves.
It’s hard to say how each person will be affected, but anyone can offer input through the anonymous suggestion box and by speaking with their supervisor or anyone on the leadership team.
The leadership team is working to make sure the TTC project and the department reorganization work well together.
