Willamette Chemistry

It was an honor to host Professor of Chemistry Jani Ingram from Northern Arizona University who was a Dreyfus Lecturer. She visited campus and gave a talk to regional scientific audiences, gave a talk at Chemawa Indian School, and then topped off the visit to the Land of the Kalapuya with a great Science Pub event at the GovCup! She spoke about her environmental chemistry work on the Navajo Nation with a focus on uranium and other elemental contamination in water sources. Thank you to the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation, Willamette University, Allied Video Productions, Capital Community Media, Governor's Cup Coffee Roasters, Vicki & Cindy (ASL interpreters), Greg (photos), Doug (sound), Alyssa & Evan, and everyone who attended!

Here's the "serious" photo from the Chemistry Senior Zoomposium - but they still all look quite happy! As they should!!! Nice work, cc-2020.

We didn't get a chemistry senior photo (yet!), but here's the second best thing -- the lab-coating ceremony from last year! But shoot, we gotta photoshop Nick & Annette in to the picture!!! We miss all of you. :)
