87171 news 1247443200 1475896218 <![CDATA[Three Chemistry Faculty Elected to Inaugural Group of ACS Fellows]]> Three faculty in the School of Chemistry & Biochemistry have been elected into the inaugural group of American Chemical Society Fellows - Professors Bredas, El-Sayed, and Tolbert. These three were nominated on the basis of their research accomplishments and their service to the ACS as journal editors.

The ACS Fellows Program was created by the Board of Directors in December 2008 'to recognize members of the American Chemical Society for outstanding achievements in and contributions to Science, the Profession, and the Society.' Unlike ACS national awards, the distinguished honor of a Fellows designation will go to those who have distinguished themselves in multiple areas, including promoting the science, the profession, and service to the American Chemical Society. Ultimately, the body of Fellows is intended to reach approximately 1-2% of ACS membership.

Congratulations to our three newly-elected Fellows!
