Spencer L. Seager is professor of chemistry at Weber State University.[1]

History

edit

He received his B.S. degree in chemistry and Ph.D. in physical chemistry from the University of Utah under the dean of science at the time, Henry Eyring; his adviser was J. Calvin Giddings.[2]

He began teaching at WSU in 1960.[1] He served as chemistry department chairman from 1969 to 1993.[3]

Subjects taught

edit

He teaches introductory, general, and physical chemistry at the university and is also active in projects to help improve chemistry and other science education in local elementary schools.[3]
