Current Activities

Since joining the faculty in 2006, Dr. Mullen has taught CHEM 101 (Fundamentals of Chemistry I) CHEM 106 (Molecular Science for Citizens) and CHEM 222 (Elements of Organic and Biological Chemistry), a one semester organic chemistry course for students in the College of Agriculture. Dr. Mullen currently teaches CHEM 227 and 228 (Organic Chemistry I and II) for non-majors and CHEM 234 (Organic Synthesis and Analysis), a writing intensive laboratory course for chemistry majors.

Each year, she happily represents the Chemistry Department at the Chemistry Open House, the Physics and Engineering Festival, and the Regional and Junior Science Bowls.

Finally, she is the faculty advisor to Cupcakes for a Cause, which brings together students who either love baking or would like to learn how to bake, to raise money for local non-profit organizations in the Bryan-College Station area.
