Accomplishments
Dr. Charles M. Bump received the American Chemical
Society Hampton Roads Local Section Distinguished Service
Award for 2000-2001.
Dr. Edmund Moses N. Ndip was elected Secretary for
the Chemistry Division of the Virginia Academy of Sciences
at its last meeting at James Madison University in Harrisonburg,
Virginia.
Dr. Godson Nwokogu received a grant of $49,580 from
Office of Naval Research to support on-going research in
polymer synthesis.
Dr. Joseph C. Williams, Sr. received a contract
grant in the amount of $20,099 from the Applied Physics
Laboratory of Johns Hopkins University to support ongoing
work in materials characterization.
Several grants are under development by members of the
chemistry faculty.
The Chemistry Department has completed the installation
of several new pieces of equipment used for instruction
and research - a Gas Chromatograph, a UV-Vis Spectrometer,
a Differential Scanning Calorimeter and a Thermogravimetric
Analyzer. These instruments have been connected to the department's
existing intranet.
The majority of the chemistry faculty continues to integrate
the University's course management program, Blackboard in
the delivery of instruction. The course sites for Drs.
Godson C. Nwokogu, Charles Bump and Edmund Moses
N. Ndip (Member HU E-Learning team) are being used as
models.
Congratulations! We invite all
HU chemistry graduates to keep us up to date. E-mail us!
