10/2/08
The Southeastern Department of Chemistry and Physics made a strong showing at the 64th Southwest Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society in Little Rock, Arkansas, Oct. 1-4, 2008. Four faculty members and ten students attended the meeting where seven presentations on research were made.
One oral presentation was made by chemistry junior, Jordan Dinser, in which she presented her work on the “Reactions of O-Alkylarylhydroximoyl Azides in Electrophilic Media.” This work has been done under the support of the SEAL program at Southeastern and has been supervised by Dr. Debra Dolliver.
Six poster presentations were made:
“SEAL and E-Waste,” Patrick Gentry (business major working under the SEAL program with Dr. David Norwood)
“Monitoring the Effects of Freshwater Diversion from the Mississippi River into Lake Pontchartrain through the Bonnet Carre Spillway,” Jessica Stricks (biology major working with Dr. Phillip Voegel)
“Effect of Katrina and Human Activities on Distribution of Heavy Metals in the New Orleans Areas and Lake Pontchartrain,” Garrett Clement (chemisty major working with Dr. Ju Chou)
“Changes in Nutrient Levels in Lake Maurepas Following Hurricane Katrina,” Raymond Risley (chemistry major working with Dr. Phillip Voegel)
“Various Mixtures of DMSO Viscosity,” Alexandra Ruibal (physics major working under the SEAL program with Dr. David Norwood)
“Synthesis of O-Alkylarylhydroximoyl Azides,” Megan Lanier (chemistry major working under the SEAL program with Dr. Debra Dolliver)
The students attending the meeting also attended graduate school and career workshops given by the American Chemical Society.
