Bruce J. Heyen, Ph.D.
Email: bruceh@tabor.edu
Department: Chemistry
Bruce uses demonstrations frequently to convey concepts in chemistry, and tries to be available for students whenever they need assistance because he wants to see them succeed.
Chemistry, by nature, is a secular science. Bruce addresses faith/science issues with all students to allow them to understand and be informed about controversies where faith and science seemingly contradict. His goal is to prepare students to have a vibrant, active faith in God as Creator and Sustainer of the universe, and to give Him the glory for our ability to study and understand the intricacies of our world. Check out the Science Experience Blog!
Bruce and his wife, Janell, have five children: Benjamin, Emma, Elise, Clair, and MaryElena. Bruce also organizes and presents a chemistry show for the local elementary school each spring.
