On April 10, 2008 the Dean's office, in conjunction with the chemistry department, hosted a Masters Hall Reunion for 1950s era
chemistry graduates in the new chemistry building. Reflections on life as a student in the then new Masters Hall and the influence of past
faculty on the graduates were the order of the day. There was no short supply of happy memories. Attendees included Wanda and Leroy Whitaker,
Jack Buttram, Doug Layne, Rachel and Roy Sonntag, and Virginia and Norman West.

Gavin Williams, Ph.D. student in Dr. Angela Wilson's research group, has been nominated and selected as a
participant in the 58th Lindau Meeting of Nobel Laureates which will be held in Lindau, Germany. This
particular meeting will bring together young researchers from all over the world to meet and interact with
scientists who have won the Nobel Prize in physics. (posted 4/17/08)
Prof. Paul Marshall has received a $280,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to support studies of
how traces of sulfur in hydrocarbon fuels influence combustion and the formation of nitrogen oxide pollutants.

The Department of Chemistry offers undergraduate and graduate
programs in the following areas: Bachelor of Arts with
a major in Chemistry; Bachelor of Arts in
Chemistry with Teaching Certification; Bachelor of Science in
Chemistry; BS in Chemistry with a Concentration in Forensic Science
Master
of Science and Doctor of Philosophy with
a major in chemistry; and concentrations at the graduate level in analytical
chemistry, chemistry education, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry,
physical chemistry, and industrial chemistry (M.Sc. only). Students may also
focus their research in the areas of computational and materials chemistry.
Recipients of the BS in Chemistry, and in some cases the BA and
BA with Teaching Certification, are certified by the American
Chemical Society (ACS) as meeting requirements for professional training
of chemists. Courses required for ACS certification may be obtained from
the Chair of the Undergraduate Affairs Committee.
 At the graduate level, student stipends, including teaching assistantships
and research fellowships, are available from a variety of sources. Further information may be obtained from the
Chair of the Graduate Affairs Committee. Other scholarships may be
available.
The Department has an active chapter of Alpha Chi Sigma. The
Beta Eta Chapter of AXE is very active by performing Chemical
Shows, selling goggles for lab classes, organic model kit sales,
hosting mixers, hosting an annual chili cook-off, and is active with other AXE
chapters in the area.
