On Friday, April 22nd, the Department hosted its second Semiannual Undergraduate Laboratory Poster Session from 4 - 6 pm in the Ashe Annex of Chevron Science Center. In lieu of a written final exam, 122 students from upper level laboratory courses (Introductory Analytical, Instrumental Analysis, Physical Chemistry I, and Physical Chemistry II) presented posters on experimentation they completed during the semester. In addition to the opportunity for our students to expand their scientific communication skills, the event included refreshments, door prizes, and awards for winning posters in each of the lab courses. The event was organized by Dr. Michelle Ward-Muscatello and was made possible by generous support from PPG Industries, Bayer MaterialScience, and the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh.Dr. Ward-Muscatello organized the session with the cooperation and hard-working efforts of numerous undergraduate teaching assistants and Department of Chemistry staff members Michael C. Pater, Mary Schwarman, and Mary Beth Conroy.Congratulations to the winners!Introductory Analytical Chemistry:First Place: Danielle MackowskyHonorable Mention: Hana BakalliHonorable Mention: Collin MurrayInstrumental Analysis:First Place: Neil LaxFirst Place: Justin KrillHonorable Mention: Elizabeth HockingPhysical Chemistry I:First Place: Eric PetersonFirst Place: Jordan DeanerPhysical Chemistry II:First Place: Kathleen TuiteHonorable Mention: Anne Sendecki
