Darren Cornell is an Emmanuel alum and chemistry major. He just started working for the department as an assistant lab manager. Darren is from Woburn, Ma and was drawn to Emmanuel not only for its location, but also the amazing faculty and challenging course work which he said greatly prepared him for life in a working world. When asked what made him want to study chemistry, Darren easily pinpointed a distinct moment in which he knew that chemistry was the major for him. “It was spring of freshman year” says Darren. “I was taking CHEM 1102 and BIO1106 and everyone loved the biology class and thought it was great. While I had been struggling in chemistry, for me, it was the other way around. I really loved all the stuff that happens in CHEM 1102 and I think that it was a good indicator that chemistry is what I enjoy far more than biology or physics.” Darren looks up to both his parents for guiding him and implementing in him a love for science. Since both his parents are...

May Le ‘15 recently visited Emmanuel to talk to the CHEM-3108 – Instrumental Methods of Analysis class about her job with Harpoon Brewery. The class is collaborating with May to help her team measure levels of a flavor chemical called Diacetyl in fermenting beer. Harpoon Brewery is located in the South End and was formed by three friends Dan Kenary, Rich Doyle, and George Ligeti. This trio loved the experience of drinking beer together and traveled throughout Europe in search for new and tasteful types of beer. Their journey across Europe inspired them to start a brewery in Boston. In June of 1987, Harpoon Brewery was built on the waterfront of Northern Avenue. Check out Harpoon Brewery’s website here!...

Aimee Sanford, ’16 graduated this past May with Distinction in the Field of Chemistry and immediately headed south to Atlanta, Georgia for an internship in the ORISE program at the Center for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC). We were very excited for this opportunity for Aimee, but are even more excited that after only one month at the internship Aimee was offered a full time position. Aimee certainly made her one month in the lab a success to be offered a job so quickly. Aimee plans to work at the CDC as she prepares applications to graduate schools in the...
