First Community College Teaching Award
The ACS gives awards at local, regional and national
levels for excellent teaching at high schools and
colleges. The Santa Clara Valley Section has
established an award that is the first in the nation
to
recognize the contributions of community college
chemistry instructors to science education.
Professor Jeanette Medina, an exemplary faculty
member from the chemistry department at Cañada College
in Redwood City, California, has won the first
Teacher-Scholar Award for Community College Chemistry
Faculty. She received a plaque and $500 at the the
Section's November 19 dinner meeting in Santa Clara.
The event was described on p. 49 of the December 21,
2009 issue of C&EN. A gift of $500 was also given her
department.
The president of the American Chemical Society, Tom
Lane, presented the award. An unusually large number
of
students took advantage of our "free dinner for
students" offer for our dinner meetings; students were
there not only from Cañada College, but also from San
Jose State University, Santa Clara University and U.C.
Santa Cruz. Also attending were Dr. Tom Mohr,
President
of Cañada College, and Dr. Sarah Perkins, Vice
President Instruction.
Not only did Dr. Tom Lane bring the prestige of the
ACS Presidency to the meeting, but because of his
extensive involvement with community colleges, it was
particularly appropriate for him to be the person to
make the presentation. As a student he attended a
community college; after he received his doctorate and
became an industrial chemist, he taught at his local
community college as an adjunct instructor; finally,
he
has served on its board of trustees, and chaired the
board. Also, he and his wife have established two
scholarship funds for community college students. His
talk was extraordinarily dynamic and inspiring, and
the
entire evening was a huge success.
We hope that this initiative will generate publicity
and catalyze the creation of similar awards in other
ACS local sections, at regional levels, and ultimately
at the national level. The publicity surrounding these
awards is expected to increase the visibility, respect
and appreciation accorded to community college science
education, both by other chemists and the general
public.

This year the Santa Clara Valley Section and the CA
Los Padres Section collaborated to hold a meeting at
the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI).
Over 80 ACS members attended this one-time event
including some CA Los Padres Section members who rode
a
bus over 4 hours each way to participate. The research
scientists at the MBARI gave a tour of their
facilities
and described the research that is being conducted
there. Ken Johnson gave a presentation of his
research
on the impact of climate change on the
ocean. In addition to bringing two local sections
together, this event also provided an opportunity for
participation in local events for the Monterey area
ACS members.

Local Section and Division
Interaction Award
A Local Section or Division may nominate themselves for up to 3 Joint
Awards. However, if the same Division and Local Section have held
several joint events these should be combined into one nomination. A
separate form must be completed for each entry. Nominations are limited
to 1,000 words and should (1) describe the nature of the Local
Section-Division interaction, (2) Indicate the division which
conducted the joint event or activity and (3) explain why it
should be considered for the award. Please do not send supporting
materials. Events should be innovative and extra consideration will be
given to events that reach a wide audience, and have good publicity.
Activities which were organized and planned jointly rather than simply
financially supported by one or other group will be favored. The
nomination must reflect the criteria for the award and must be unique
for each entry. |
