Professional Interests
Bethany Springer, a Summit County native, has been teaching chemistry for over ten years and believes deeply that 'everything is chemistry.' She designs her courses to help students see chemistry as foundational to all sciences and connected to the world around them, not just confined to a textbook. Teaching chemistry is both her calling and passion, and she believes anyone can learn the subject with the right support and mindset—echoing Nobel laureate Roald Hoffmann’s reminder that, “To be a chemist requires no special talent… anyone can do it, with hard work.”
Personal Interests
Outside the classroom, Bethany and her husband are raising their two young boys in the Colorado mountains where they both grew up, spending as much time camping as possible. She also enjoys expressing her creativity through crafting and relaxing with a good fantasy novel.
