(https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.inorgchem.1c02458) Chemistry faculty member Liz Young was chosen to be a face of physical chemistry for the new Atkins Physical Chemistry textbook (12th edition). They have a new section called People and Perspectives and she was interviewed for that section. They produced a 12 minute video of the interview, which can be found at this link: https://drive.google.com/file/ d/1g8pvASkPERM8YEk_XftuLiP0sgBkJiD1/view?usp=sharing. Her segment starts at video marker 0:56. During the interview, Prof. Young gives her perspective on the question "What advice would you give to someone studying physical chemistry with regards to their future career?" In her response she says, "One thing about physical chemistry and chemistry in general is that it's not just about knowing the thing, the answer to the problem you're working on, it's understanding why something is the way it is... The why is the most important thing that we can ask ourselves in physical chemistry and one of the most important answers that we work towards as physical chemists -- to understand the chemistry of our project or of our reaction or of our material." Lisa Arechiga joined the Chemistry Department as the Faculty Coordinator last August. She began full time employment at Lehigh University in August of 2013 as the Graduate Coordinator in the Materials Science and Engineering Department, and also supported the Polymer Science and Engineering on campus and Distance Education programs. Prior to that, she worked part-time as a moderator for courses offered by Lehigh’s Office of Distance Education. She holds a B.A. in Communications and a Master’s of Science in Instructional Design and Development, and came with years of corporate experience in training, documentation, newspapers, marketing, and in public education. Lisa enjoys walking, swimming, music, travel, and spending time with her family and friends. Lisa Arechiga New Faculty Coordinator
