The Mark Twain Section of the American Chemical Society Student Travel Fund is designed to support travel costs of student leaders or other members of the University’s chemistry club, previously known as the ACS Student Affiliate Chapter (ACSSA). The funding will provide financial assistance for students to attend the spring national meeting of the ACS or to attend other ACS-sponsored meetings on both the regional and national levels. Whenever possible the students will be encouraged to present a paper or poster on their undergraduate research.
Emeriti professors Drs. Dana Delaware and David Wohlers were instrumental in securing the funding for this purpose, and a $20,000 check was recently presented to the School of Science and Mathematics.
