The Jean Dreyfus Lectureship for Undergraduate Institutions program recently announced seven new grantees, and the CU Denver Chemistry Department was among the winners. The awards provide an $18,500 grant to bring a leading researcher to a primarily undergraduate institution to give at least two lectures and to substantively interact with undergraduate students and a broad range of faculty. Additionally, a portion of the award is to support two undergraduates in summer research working with mentors in contemporary chemistry.

The purpose of the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation is to advance the science of chemistry, chemical engineering, and related sciences as a means of improving human relations and circumstances throughout the world.
