    Stacey Lowery Bretz

    Stacey Lowery Bretz is the Dean of the Getty College of Arts and Sciences at Ohio Northern University, where she holds the rank of professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. For 28 years, she taught general chemistry to thousands of students. At Miami University, she held the rank of University Distinguished Professor and was honored with the Benjamin Harrison Medallion for “outstanding contribution to the education of the nation.” She has mentored 60+ post-docs and research students, with 25 of her former mentees teaching chemistry at colleges, universities, and high schools. Together, they have authored over 100 peer-reviewed articles and given over 500 keynotes, seminars, and conference presentations. Her research investigates students’ learning of chemistry, with expertise in developing assessments of students’ thinking in the laboratory and with multiple representations of molecules and compounds. Dr. Bretz is a Fellow of the American Chemical Society (ACS), is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and was an American Council on Education Fellow in the Office of the Chancellor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She served on the National Research Council Committee on Discipline-Based Education Research, and she chaired the Gordon Conference on Chemistry Education Research and Practice. Her colleagues honored her with the 2020 ACS Award for Achievement in Research on Teaching and Learning of Chemistry. Dr. Bretz served for three years in the Chair succession of the ACS Division of Chemical Education. She earned her BA in chemistry from Cornell University, her MS from the Pennsylvania State University, her Ph.D. in chemistry education research (CER) from Cornell University, and completed a post-doc at the University of California, Berkeley in the Department of Chemistry.
