Dr. W. Tandy Grubbs
Professor and Chair of Chemistry
Tandy Grubbs, born and raised a North Carolinian, has been at Stetson since 1995 and currently serves as Chair of the Chemistry Department. He is interested in horses, lasers, and brewing beer (but not all at the same time). In addition to a number of chemical interests, he enjoys designing casual computer games in support of science education.
