UIC Chemistry Alumni Day
May 13th 2010
The Alumni Day plays an important part of the academic year of the UIC Chemistry Department. As one of the largest departments in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, we have awarded more than 500 Ph.D. and an even greater number of B.A. and B.S. degrees since our foundation in 1965. Since education represents a central theme of our department’s mission, each year we invite the undergraduate and graduate alumni of our program to campus for an update on department activities, to meet old friends and to participate in the annual Alumni Day Lecture and reception.
We are honored this year to have as our speaker, Dr. Adrian E. Roitberg, a former graduate student of Professor Ron Elber (Ph.D. 1992) and current faculty member in Department of Chemistry at the University of Florida . Professor Roitberg is member of the Quantum Theory Project, which has the distinction of being the world's largest research center for theory, modeling, and computation of complex, novel molecular and materials systems.
