Albion faculty and students to participate in the 241st ACS National Meeting

Four faculty – Drs. Bieler, French, Lewis and Metz – will accompany ten students to the 241st national meeting of the American Chemical Society.  The meeting will be held in Anaheim, CA from March 27-31, 2011.  If you are planning to attend the Anaheim meeting, please attend one of our presentations and join us for our annual dinner with Albion alums.  Please contact Kevin Metz (kmetz@albion.edu), if you would like additional information. The presentation information for Albion students and faculty is below.
