Sneak Peak #2

A couple of months ago, I shared a preview of the inChemistry magazine advertisement we created, to highlight the great work done at UND in our Chemistry graduate program. The next issue, ready for publication in December, focuses on Chemistry Careers. I chose to feature recent Alum, Neville Forlemu who graduated earlier this year with his Ph.D. in Chemistry. Neville had some wonderful accomplishments during his time at UND. He was awarded the prestigious UNCF/Merck Science Initiative Fellowship for 2008, and is now working in his field as a researcher at Icahn Medical Institute in New York. Neville will also feature in our Grad Stories series, coming soon.

Here is our Sneak Peak advertisement for this issue of inChemistry.

Congrats UND!

Some of us in The Graduate School had the pleasure of attending a special event last weekend at the Metrodome in Minneapolis. The University of North Dakota partnered with the Minnesota Twins to host a pre-game picnic for past, present and future students of UND.

It was great to see so many familiar faces and meet new friends of the university. In my short time at the registration table, I spoke with current students and alumni from colleges around campus including Arts & Sciences, Business & Public Administration, Nursing, and Education. There were also graduates of the Schools of Law and Medicine & Health Sciences, Aerospace and Engineering. About 800 guests enjoyed songs from the Varsity Bards, welcomes from President Kelley and Twins great, Tony Oliva. A great time was had by all, and it was wonderful to see the breadth of the university mingling at a very “Green” picnic.
