Faculty News and Accomplishments

As some of you may know by now, Dr. Nandita Banerjee retired at the end of the Spring semester 2004. A reception was held in her honor on May 5^th, 2004 at the Student Center. Thanks to all who sent expressions, which were shared at her reception. You can still send expressions to her attention here at the Department of Chemistry.

As the emcee, Dr. Darby was both entertaining and sentimental.
