Henderson AwardThe Robert B. HendersonAward was established by Dr. Henderson’sfamily, colleagues andfriends to honor his memory. Dr.Henderson was a member <strong>of</strong> theChemistry and Biochemistry <strong>Department</strong>from 1955-1983 and adistinguished scientist and teacher<strong>of</strong> organic and general chemistry.Recipients for this award are chosenfrom among bachelor’s andmaster’s graduates as those bestexemplifying Dr. Henderson’sscholarship and commitment tothe pr<strong>of</strong>ession <strong>of</strong> chemistry. Thisyear’s award <strong>of</strong> $1,000 was presentedto Yvonne Burns andDmitry Pervitsky.Yvonne BurnsYvonne, a December 2000 BSChemistry and BS Biochemistrygraduate, is employed by Accelrys,a scientific s<strong>of</strong>tware company andsubsidiary <strong>of</strong> Pharmacopeia, whereshe works in “inside sales.” Yvonnewill eventually enter an MBA orPhD program. She is also thisyear’s winner <strong>of</strong> the AnalyticalChemistry Award, the BiochemistryAward, the Robert B. RhodesAward and last year’s Kelly ScientificResources Award in inorganicchemistry.Dmitry Pervitsky(with daughter, Vera)Dmitry, who received his MS inChemistry in the summer <strong>of</strong> <strong>2001</strong>under the supervision <strong>of</strong> Dr. LijuanLi, has continued on to the PhDprogram in chemistry at UC Irvinewhere he will be a research student<strong>of</strong> Dr. Bo Hong. Dmitry wasalso honored this year with theEndowedAmerican Institute <strong>of</strong> ChemistsGraduate Award and was alsonamed to the Graduate Dean’sHonor List. For the past two yearsDmitry has been the Dr. MichaelMonahan Summer Research Fellow.Kenneth L. Marsi ScholarshipThis $1,000 scholarship, establishedby faculty, staff, family,friends and former students on theoccasion <strong>of</strong> Dr. Ken Marsi’s retirement,is used to defray registrationfees <strong>of</strong> an outstanding junior orsenior chemistry or biochemistrymajor. This year’s scholar is EvaMorlok.Eva MorlokEva, a biochemistry major, willbe in her senior year this fall andis a research student <strong>of</strong> Dr. DouglasMcAbee. She was last year’srecipent <strong>of</strong> the Spyros PathosAward and a co-recipient <strong>of</strong> theDiagnostic Products Corp. Award.Eva plans to continue on for herPhD in biochemistry and enter theacademic pr<strong>of</strong>ession.Michael Monahan FellowshipThe Monahan Award was establishedthrough a generous bequest<strong>of</strong> Dr. Michael Monahan, an alumnus<strong>of</strong> our department who receivedhis BS in Chemistry in1963 and his PhD in 1968 at UCSan Diego in physical organicchemistry. While an undergraduatehe was a research student <strong>of</strong> Dr.Robert Henderson. He was a distinguishedscientist and a member<strong>of</strong> the faculty at the Salk Instituteand subsequently a senior researchscientist with Beckman Instruments.Dr. Monahan was also thefounder and president <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>Medicinal Chemistry Corp. In1985-87, following his retirement,he served as a lecturer in our department.According to his will,the income from his bequest is tobe used to support student researchin our department. This isthe fourth year this $2,500 awardhas been given.10AwardsEric Sundberg, this year’s MonahanFellow, will be a senior BSChemistry major in the fall <strong>of</strong>Eric Sundberg<strong>2001</strong>. During the summer he wasa research student <strong>of</strong> Dr. Lijuan Li.He also shared the Spyros PathosAward this year, and last year wasthe recipient <strong>of</strong> the FreshmanChemistry Award. Eric plans toenter medical school followinggraduation.Spyros Pathos IV AwardThe Spyros Pathos IV Award ispresented annually to a studentexcelling in the second semester<strong>of</strong> general chemistry, Chemistry111B. This year is the fifth yearthat the Pathos Award has beengranted. The award is made possibleby friends <strong>of</strong> Spyros Pathos IV,who was an undergraduate chemistrymajor in our department atthe time <strong>of</strong> his death in 1993.Kathleen High and EricSundberg are this year’sawardees.Kathleen HighKathleen is a senior BS Biochemistrymajor and a returning studentwho worked previously in businessfor 23 years before enrolling atCSULB.

Scoggins AwardThis award memorializes DavidL. Scoggins, a 1968 BS chemistrygraduate <strong>of</strong> CSULB and a graduatestudent and teaching assistant inthe <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Chemistry atthe time <strong>of</strong> his death in 1969.This award recognizes outstandingscholarship and promise by a graduatingchemistry or biochemistrystudent who intends to pursue acareer in one <strong>of</strong> the health-relatedpr<strong>of</strong>essions. The Scoggins scholarthis year is Helene Pao.Helene PaoHelene, a BS Biochemistrygraduate, intends to enter medicalschool. She was last year’s DiagnosticProducts awardee.John H. Stern AwardThe Stern Award, consisting <strong>of</strong>a cash prize, is given in memory <strong>of</strong>Dr. John H. Stern, internationallyknown for his work in solutionthermodynamics and author <strong>of</strong>many publications in that field.The award was established by colleagues,former students andfriends <strong>of</strong> Dr. Stern, who was amember <strong>of</strong> our faculty from 1958-1984 and a distinguished teacher<strong>of</strong> physical and general chemistry.Roger York, this year’s Sternawardee, is majoring in chemicalengineering and is a junior thisfall.

We viewed numerousposters, heard speakers presentinga wide variety <strong>of</strong> topics and metstudents from other schools at theUndergraduate Kick-Off Social.Registration fees and hotel costsfor the meetings were provided bySAACS with money earned by theGarb Sale, which is held at thestart <strong>of</strong> each semester.Once again, SAACS sponsored acanned food drive for Thanksgiving.A decorated box was placed infront <strong>of</strong> the chemistry stockroomto collect food for the needy.Several speakers were hostedby SAACS during the year, providinguseful information to students.During the fall, Denise Lutz <strong>of</strong>Kelly Scientific Resources presentedinformation on finding a job inthe field <strong>of</strong> chemistry and the servicesthat KSR provides. Dr. DonaldReish presented information onparticipating in science internshipsfor school credit. SAACS met withDr. Andrew Fisher, pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong>chemistry at UC Davis, to discussgraduate school opportunities inchemistry. We also had the opportunityto meet and have lunchwith the Allergan DistinguishedVisiting Lecturer, Dr. CatherineFenselau <strong>of</strong> the U <strong>of</strong> Maryland, inMarch.In May, we attended a field tripto the Hyperion Water TreatmentPlant in Playa Del Rey, sponsoredby the ACS Younger Chemist Committee.We saw (and smelled!) justwhat happens to water after it isflushed or washed down a drain.We were also given a tour <strong>of</strong> some<strong>of</strong> the labs <strong>of</strong> the facility.SAACS sponsored several socialevents during the year. We participatedin the College <strong>of</strong> NaturalSciences & Mathematics Student-Faculty mixer in March, handingout fliers and information aboutSAACS to interested students. Dr.and Mrs. Baine graciously hostedboth the end-<strong>of</strong>-the-semester winterparty and the spring fling party,an opportunity for students andfaculty alike to relax after thestress <strong>of</strong> finals.
