Providence College receives Dreyfus Award

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is led by Dr. Seann Mulcahy and Dr. Kathleen Comely.

PC is the first college in Rhode Island to receive the award.

The Award

The $18,500 grant provides funding to bring a researcher to campus to give at least two lectures in the chemical sciences, and to interact with faculty and undergraduate students.

One of the lectures will be accessible and promoted to a wide audience that includes the general public, while the other lectures will be more technical and/or specific.

The grant will also fund two summer undergraduate research students selected from the pool of rising sophomore, junior, or senior chemistry/biochemistry majors.
