GIVING TO THE DEPARTMENT

Kevin Scott Beall Memorial Award Fund: This award of $500 is presented to the most outstanding freshman majoring in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. It is given in memory of a graduate of the Department who was killed in an automobile accident in 1993.

Quaesita Drake Scholarship Fund: supports scholarships (currently two $1K scholarships/year) given to outstanding junior or senior women who are chemistry or biochemistry majors, on the basis of academic accomplishment and potential and excellence of character. The funds for this award are obtained from gifts of alumni and alumnae to honor Prof. Quaesita Drake, chairperson of the Women’s College Chemistry Department for over 25 years.

Elizabeth Dyer Undergraduate Award Fund: supports awards (currently two $1K awards/year - one to a CHEM major, one to a BIOC major) given to senior majors in recognition of excellent performance in one or more of the following areas: scholarship, research and service to the Department. The award honors Prof. Elizabeth Dyer, faculty member 1933-1971.

Elizabeth Dyer Teaching Award Fund: supports awards (currently two or three $200 awards/year) given to graduate teaching assistants in the Department for excellent achievement in the teaching of chemistry.

Alberta E. Edge Fund: This fund, created from the estate of Alberta E. Edge (BA35), underwrites the financial component of the awards given to outstanding senior (American Institute of Chemists Award, currently $500) and junior (American Chemical Society Award, currently $500) CHEM or BIOC majors, as well as the two senior Merck Index Awards (currently $250 each). It is our intent to solicit alumni giving to the Alberta E. Edge Fund with the eventual goal of creating parallel awards to the ACS, Carothers, and Beall Awards for, respectively, our junior, sophomore, and freshman classes. This would enable us to annually recognize both the top CHEM major and the top BIOC major in each of these classes, as we are currently doing for the senior class via the Elizabeth Dyer Excellence in Chemistry and Biochemistry Awards.

William A. Mosher Fund: supports fellowships for CHEM/BIOC graduate students. The fellowships honor Prof. William A. Mosher, who chaired the Department from 1946 to 1969.

James A. Moore Undergraduate Award in Organic Chemistry: an award given to the graduating senior in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry who best exemplifies scholarship in organic chemistry. The award consists of an honorarium of $100. The award honors Prof. James A. Moore, faculty member 1956-1988.

Joseph H. Noggle Undergraduate Award in Physical Chemistry: supports an annual award (currently $100) given to the graduating senior who best exemplifies scholarship in physical chemistry. The award honors Prof. Joseph H. Noggle, faculty member 1971-1998.

NUCLEUS Fund: The NUCLEUS (Network of Undergraduate Collaborative Learning Experiences for Underrepresented Scholars) Program assists underrepresented ethnic students earn their bachelor’s degree in biomedically related disciplines. Gifts to the NUCLEUS Program will support retention and post-baccalaureate placement programming that enhance the experiences of underrepresented ethnic students in the Department.

Joel L. Silver Award Fund: supports an award (currently $250) given in memory of Joel L. Silver, a graduate student killed in a traffic accident in his last doctoral year (1971), that recognizes excellent achievement in graduate research, as well as a highly professional presentation of results at an annual symposium.

Glenn S. Skinner Award Fund: supports an annual award (currently $1K) to a graduate student in recognition of distinction in scholarship, research and service to the Department. The award honors Prof. Glenn S. Skinner, who was a chemistry faculty member from 1928 to 1958.
