Carla M. Verschoor

Senior Lecturer in Chemistry

Enjoys teaching across the curriculum, from first-year students to graduating seniors.


I am trained as an inorganic chemist and fell in love with Chemistry due to the pretty colors of transition-metal complexes. I teach in the introductory sequence (105/205) and in the advanced inorganic labs. It is wonderful to teach at both ends of the curriculum, and to see how students have progressed so much during their time at Wellesley.

I have a special interest in students who come from under-resourced high schools and/or are first-generation students. One of my favorite things at Wellesley was being the faculty mentor for Posse 2 from Houston.

When not teaching, I can usually be found spending time with my family.
