Activities

    This past year, subsection activities consisted of a High School Student Awards evening held on November 11, 2008.  We did not request funds for holding the event this upcoming fall as we still had remaining funds.  However, we have requested funds in order to continue this event in the future.  

    The Outstanding High School Student Award Night was held on November 11, 2008 at 7:30pm in Spiro Hall4 at Wagner College.  The featured speakers were Thomas Beelsey, Corina Casey, and Kathryn Chepiga, junior and senior chemistry majors at Wagner College who presented their summer research projects.  After the seminar and presentation of awards, members of Gamma Sigma Epsilon National Chemistry Honors Society conducted tours of some of the research chemistry laboratories at Wagner College.  Approximately 50 people were in attendance.
