Chemistry Professor Honored by American Chemical Society

Professor James Crivello received the prestigious “2009 Mark Senior Scholar Award” from the Polymer Chemistry Division of American Chemical Society (ACS).

To recognize outstanding research and leadership in polymer science, the award was established in 1976 and is administered by the Polymer Chemistry Division. In 1989, the award was named the Herman F. Mark Polymer Chemistry Award. The award is sponsored by Elsevier, publishers of the journal Polymer. The Dow Chemical Company Foundation and the Polymer Chemistry Division are previous sponsors of the award.

The award consists of a plaque and an honorarium of $2000. The award is usually presented biennially in odd-numbered years at the Fall meeting of the Polymer Chemistry Division. Travel expenses to the symposium are paid in addition to the honorarium. Speakers for the symposium, organized by the Polymer Division program chair and the nominator, will include the Mark Scholars who are selected in the same year, as well as speakers selected by the Mark Awardee.  The award to Professor Crivello will be presented at the ACS meeting in Washington DC (August, 2009.)
