Celebrating 150 years of Light
Sept. 24, 2025
Welcome back, Cougars! We as a department are happy to have you back on campus for another semester.
The 2025-2026 school year will be unlike any other BYU has experienced before. To celebrate BYU’s 150th anniversary, campus will have celebrations, prizes, scavenger hunts, special lighting events, and so much more. Departments all across campus are also joining in the celebrations with videos and display cases. The Chemistry and Biochemistry Department is no exception. Come see our brand new display by the West entrance in the Benson building that highlights how the Chemistry and Biochemistry department has grown over the last 150 years. For more information about the university’s celebrations, please visit BYU's 150 Anniversary page. Keep an eye out for Nights of Light, Homecoming Activities, and the Scavenger Hunt!
