Great Job to all of our Olympians! Congrats to Gold Medal Winner Dr. Hastings! And after a three way tie for second Dr. Barr finished in the silver medal position and Chem Major Kayla with Bronze! Amanda just missed that medal spot. Looks like the professors have taken the Olympics for the second year in a row!

Come out this afternoon at 1pm to show off all your fun lab skills with the Chem Club and the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. We will meet in the third floor atrium and there will be snacks! The professors took 2 out of 3 events last year so students should be out for revenge!

Congratulations to senior chemistry major and chem club president Michael Moseley. Michael is the 2026 Maryland ACS Student Award winner from Loyola. We nominated Michael for this award to recognize all the hard work he has done keeping the Chem Club so active. We appreciate you, Michael!

Congratulations to Jesse More, Ph.D., associate professor of chemistry and chair of the chemistry and biochemistry department at Loyola University Maryland, honored with the Harry W. Rodgers III Distinguished Teacher of the Year Award. This honor recognizes professional excellence in teaching among full-time faculty.
