A luncheon on October 24 honored the two inaugural recipients of the William H. Schwarz Instructorship in Undergraduate Chemical Engineering Laboratory. They are Meredith Bauman (see a profile of her on page 26) and Kelly Hardesty, both of whom are PhD students in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.
The Schwarz Instructorship fund was established in 2000 by 10 alumni from the Class of 1953 and one from the Class of 1956 to honor their former instructor, William H. Schwarz ’51, ’55 MS, ’57 PhD. Schwarz, who died in 1995, was committed to making the Chemical Engineering Laboratory a defining moment of undergraduate education. The Schwartz Fund supports the graduate students teaching this pivotal course
