the structures of dienes contribute to their reactivity trends. Danielle Cox; Angela Rodriguez HinojosaA greener SN2:  Substitution reactions of polar and nonpolar primary halides in water Substitution reactions are very important when building complex organic compounds. However, they are often performed in hazardous polar, aprotic solvents like dimethylformamide (DMF). By utilizing water as a solvent, we can adapt a greener method for SN2 reactions of primary halides. Previous student research

projects, everyone is tackling a relatively large and important goal.” Building better batteriesDean Waldow “I think it’s really cool that I can go home to my parents and say I am working on improving batteries and that has an actual reaction from them,” chemistry major Katie Gardiner ’18 said. Gardiner is one of the student researchers for Dean Waldow, professor of chemistry. She is working alongside Jacob Finney ’18 to build better, safer batteries. Last summer she conducted research in an organic
