Summer Programs 2003
Cleaveland Hall was a busy place this summer with 18 students working on research in the Chemistry Department. Highlights of the summer included whitewater rafting on the Penobscot River (check out the photos!), a trip to the Northeast Regional American Chemical Society Meeting in Saratoga Springs, New York, pizza for lunch, and trips to Cote's. The students who parcticipated in the program are listed below.
