Uranium and American Indians is the first chemistry course in the University of Wisconsin System that meets the ethnic studies requirement for general education. As one of the 2004 model courses for the national SENCER project (Science Education for New Civic Engagements and Responsibilities), this course teaches through a complex, current, and contested set of issues facing a community of people to the underlying scientific principles. More specifically, the course explores the connections between the national need for uranium, the health and environmental effects of mining and milling the uranium ore, and the Navajo people (the Diné) who lived and are still living on the land where the ore was found.

The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.
Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students.
Occasionally, collections of JCE back issues become available for donation to individual teachers, schools, or libraries. JCE matches collections with interested recipients. Recipients pay shipping costs or pick up the collection.
