Student Notes

Graduation 2005

Four students attended the graduation ceremony and class photo this year. From left to right they are: Andrew Shell, Joelle Cadeau, Lehrin Morey and Sadie Solon.

Joelle provided an after graduation picture of her with her advisor, Rich Paselk. Kjirsten Wayman can also be seen on the right.

Awards and Scholarships

The Humboldt Women in Chemistry Scholarship has been discontinued.

Current law in California does not allow scholarships to be provided through State agencies for particular groups.

 

Fifth Annual Humboldt Chemistry Research Scholarships

 

Sara J. Codding is our 2005-2006 Russell Inorganic Chemistry Scholar. Her research will be performed under the direction of Joshua Smith. Sara received her award certificate from Josh prior to our last seminar of the spring semester, 2005. Kjirsten Wayman represented the scholarship committee.
Joan M. Zoellner is our 2005-2006 Clark Organic Chemistry Scholar. She is pursuing a computational study under the direction of Bob Zoellner (and Joan's father). Bob presented the award certificate to Joan prior to our last seminar of the spring semester, 2005. Kjirsten Wayman represented the scholarship committee.

The CRC Freshman Chemistry Award

Each year the publishers of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics sponsor an award of a free Handbook to the "top" student in Chem 109/110 at HSU. This year Frazer Meacham was selected as HSU's recipient.

The ACS Undergraduate Award in Analytical Chemistry

 Each year the American Chemical Society (ACS) sponsors an award for the top analytical chemistry student in our department. The award consists of an honorary membership in the Analytical Division of the ACS and an eight month subscription to Analytical Chemistry, one of the world's leading journals of analytical chemistry. This year our award went to Stephanie McLaughlin.


Alumni Notes

We would like to thank the many alumni and their parents who have made donations to the Chemistry Department Trust over the years.

For the fifth year in a row a generous alumni donation allowed us to offer two Research Scholarships (our endowment will only currently support one).

If you'd like to share information about what you are doing, professional or career successes etc. please submit information via email to Rich Paselk, rap1@humboldt.edu and I will post them to this newsletter. We are also hoping to put out a print version, so if you want to be put on our mail list drop us a card or email us your address.
