Hello, CAS Faculty and Staff! With fall semester well underway, we've got lots of CAS news to share. We hope you'll take a minute to click on the links below to read about some recent achievements of your CAS colleagues. On September 16 we hosted our annual College of Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame ceremony, where we recognized 27 alumni from across the three CAS pillars. (You can find out more about the event, including access to videos and photos, by clicking here.) Thank you not only to the faculty and staff who worked at and attended the event, but also to all of our CAS family who have positively impacted generations of OSU students. We're so grateful for all you do. Go Pokes! Bobbi Kay Lewis Associate Dean of Outreach and Communications |

Chemistry's Dr. Barry Lavine named American Chemical Society fellow
|
Department of Chemistry Regents Professor Dr. Barry Lavine was named an American Chemical Society Fellow in August — one of the highest honors available for chemists. “The award can be construed as recognition of my efforts in the areas of research, outreach, community service and teaching over a 40-year period,” Lavine said. “What is unique about this award is that it is not about what an individual has been given, but what that individual has contributed; in this case, to their community both locally and nationally.” |
