5. Neuroscience at Concordia Private liberal arts school in northwest Minnesota 2700 students, strong science program, pre-med Neuroscience minor approved in 2007 Two chemistry, two psychology, one biology Faculty www.nichd.nih.gov/news/resources/ spotlight/111408-Neuroscience-Research.cfm

6. Chemistry at Concordia Seven FTE ACS approved degree Approximately 20 graduates per year, 2 ACS

7. Synergy at Concordia Julie Mach Chair of Neuroscience Darin Ulness Chair of Chemistry

8. Avenues for Synergy Communication! Be intentional about conversation Understand history and constraints Look for allies in all subfields Have specific “products” e.g., problem set, guest lecture The power of chemistry! Neurochemistry track: use ACS infrastructure Institutional mission Can you contribute to the core curriculum Atmosphere and student cohorts Find ways to overlap chemistry and neuroscience cohorts: e.g., lecture series, journal group. Advising Concrete steps: e.g., freshman orientation, advisor guide
