Awards and Scholarships

Fifth Annual Humboldt Chemistry Research Scholarships No Scholarships were given this year due to a lack of applicants.

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. For 2006 the Department chose to honor three students with this award: Timothy Coleman, Dylan A. Gray and Samantha Swatling-Holcomb.

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 Marshall Ligare.

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). Since no scholarships were given this year the donation will be rolled forward to insure our ability to offer multiple scholarships in the future.

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.
