Snyder earned her BS in chemistry and BS in biology cum laude from Westminster College (PA) and her PhD in bioorganic chemistry from the University of Connecticut. She 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.
Said Lindsay Currie, CUR’s executive officer, “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. Her leadership roles in the chemistry community will assist CUR in strengthening its connections with colleague organizations.”
Said Snyder, “It is an honor to serve the CUR membership as a member of the Executive Board. CUR members are aware of the transformative impacts of undergraduate research, especially for students from underrepresented groups. I am looking forward to collaborating across CUR and with our partner organizations to strengthen support for national and international undergraduate research opportunities at every level of the curriculum while working with my colleagues to ensure that our best practices reflect the extraordinary work we do and continuing to emphasize inclusive approaches that help all our students achieve their goals.”
