The Loyola University New Orleans chapter of the American Chemical Society Student Affiliate Group was selected out of 400 nationwide student chapters to receive an Honorable Mention award for its activities conducted during the 2014-15 academic year.
Professors Kurt Birdwhistell and Clifton Stephenson were academic advisors to the chapter during the 2014-15 academic year and were included in the recognition.
Seven chemistry students traveled to Memphis, TN on November 4-7, 2015 with Professor Lynn Koplitz to present their research at the Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society. Three of the student presenters, Dayla Rich (`17), Nate Kamm (`18), and Nathalie Argueta (`18), work with Dr. Stephenson. The other four, Francesca Vaccaro (`16), Erin Larrabee (`17), Mary Claire Kramer (`18), and David Olivier (`17), do research with Dr. Koplitz.
The posters presented are as follows:
Birdwhistell named recipient of the University's highest award for faculty members.
Justin Romaire, (ACS Certified BS in Chemistry, 2013) is a graduate student at Yale.
The chapter will be featured alongside other winners in Chemical & Engineering News and inChemistry, the student member magazine. In addition, the chapter will be honored at the 249th ACS national meeting in Denver, CO in March.
William F. “Bill” Trammell ’54, 2011 winner of the American Chemical Society’s Helen M. Free Award for Public Service, began volunteering with the National Science Center’s Fort Discovery museum in Augusta, Ga., in 1997.
Dr. Lynn Koplitz's undergraduate research group is currently synthesizing and characterizing crystals of pyridinium salts. Ultimately, their findings will be used in the fields of crystal engineering and supramolecular design.
Six years after his graduation from Loyola University New Orleans, Chemist Gregory R. Choppin '49 and three other chemists discovered chemical element 101, which they named Mendelevium.
