This year the Department once again awarded a Humboldt Chemistry Scholarship for academic achievement in Chemistry and a Humboldt Chemistry Research Scholarship to support a student doing undergraduate research.

Both awards were presented prior to our last seminar of the spring semester, 2008.

Second Annual Humboldt Chemistry Scholarship

Dave Janssen was the second recipient of our new scholarship, becoming the 2008 Thomas Clark Chemistry Scholar. Matt Hurst presented the scholarship as Dave's chemistry mentor.

Eighth Annual Humboldt Chemistry Research Scholarship

Alissa Sobo is our 2008 Hanson Physical Chemistry Scholar. Her research will be performed under the direction of our newest faculty member, Jamison Smith. Alissa received her award certificate from Rich Paselk standing in for Jamison, who will not arrive on campus until this summer.

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's recipient has not yet been announced.

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. No award was given this year at HSU.
