"It’s Worth the Investment"—A Success Story From DeSales University
“We’re looking for some sort of consistency of training, you know, that we could count on all courses, students being exposed to the exact same material in the exact same way… we are very confident … that all of our students are starting out with a good foundation once they take the online training. It also has taken a burden off of my shoulders as the lab manager.
I think all of my colleagues would agree the investment has definitely been worth it… I’ve never heard anybody here complain that the cost was prohibitive or that it wasn’t worth the investment… I applaud ACS… for being proactive as far as seeing a need for something like this and working to get it out there because… we looked and there really wasn’t anything quite like this. So kudos on that.”
—Patty Hartman, Chemistry Lab Manager, DeSalle University
