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 individually at the end of the Spring semester, 2009.

Third Annual Humboldt Chemistry Scholarship

Jessa Rego was the third recipient of our new scholarship, becoming the 2009 Mervin Hanson Chemistry Scholar. Rich Paselk presented the scholarship as Chair of the scholarship committee.

Ninth Annual Humboldt Chemistry Research Scholarship

Dave Janssen is our 2009 Weiss Analytical Chemistry Scholar. His research will be performed under the direction of Matt Hurst. Matt presented the award certificate informally as Dave's mentor.

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. No award was given this year at HSU.

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 years award was given to Arin Loos Poli.
