Nicole Snyder PhD

Nicole Snyder, professor of chemistry and assistant dean for research and creative works, has been elected to the Executive Board of the Council on Undergraduate Research. “Dr. Snyder’s staunch commitment to anti-racist practices and policies will be of great benefit to the board as CUR works to fulfill its strategic goal of diversity and inclusion in undergraduate research while operating according to our values,” said Lindsay Currie, CUR’s executive officer. “Her leadership roles in the chemistry community will assist CUR in strengthening its connections with colleague organizations.”

Snyder has mentored or co-mentored nearly 100 undergraduate researchers over the past 15 years. At CUR, she has served as a Councilor in the Chemistry Division since 2016 and as the division’s representative on the Internationalization Task Force.

Snyder earned bachelor’s degrees in chemistry and biology, cum laude, from Westminster College, and her doctoral degree in bioorganic chemistry from the University of Connecticut.
