Dr. Lisa M. Stephens
Senior Lecturer of Chemistry; Pre-Health Program Coordinator
Bio
I began teaching at Marist as a part-time laboratory instructor in 2006 and then became a full-time faculty member in 2007. I have taught First Year Seminar, Introduction to Chemistry, General Chemistry I & II and Labs, Principles of Organic Chemistry and Lab, and Principles of Biochemistry and Lab. I have served as the pre-health advisor since 2012, and in 2014 decided to go back to school to obtain my doctorate. I have a particular interest in working with students who are underrepresented in STEM fields, especially the “M” in STEM.
