"Professor Herrick was recently awarded a Jean Dreyfus Boissevain Lectureship
for Undergraduate Institutions grant from the Dreyfus Foundation. The grant for $18,000 brought 1981 Chemistry Nobel Laureate Roald Hoffmann to campus for two days. While here he gave a poetry reading and presented a general chemistry talk and a technical talk on his research. The grant also supports the Summer 2011 research efforts of Mitchell Shetter '12 and Christopher Shugrue '13.
