Schneller Chemistry Legacy Lecture Series

Overview

In May, 2014, Stew and Aina Schneller established the Schneller Chemistry Legacy Lectureship endowment in the College of Arts and Sciences on the Tampa campus of the University.
The Schneller Chemistry Legacy Lectureship will host one lecture per year within the Chemistry Department. The Schneller Legacy Lecturer is to be chosen by the chemistry department chair in consultation with appropriate faculty members forming a committee. Each Schneller Chemistry Legacy Lecturer will receive a plaque recognizing his/her lecture. 

Stew Schneller served as a member of the 新澳门六合彩内幕信息chemistry faculty from 1971-1994 that included being chair of the department from 1986-1994.
This Schneller Chemistry Legacy Lectureship honors the chemistry faculty who, from 1960 to 1968, traveled from sand spurs and gravel roads to arrive at a Ph.D. granting department with an undergraduate degree program consistently recognized by the American Chemical Society.

If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.
