This two-day event will include an expo of undergraduate research, banquet, and tours of our scenic U of S campus and Canada's national synchrotron, the Canadian Light Source. Guest alumni speakers will also entertain us with tales of life after graduation from the department. It came from Thorvaldson - Tales of Chemistry Alumni will feature recent graduate of the U of S Chemistry department, Holly Severin, the President of UPEI, Alaa Abd-El-Aziz, CSO and founder of Redwood Biosciences, David Rabuka, brewmaster of Clocktower Brewhouse in Ottawa, Patrick Fiori, and our very own Ron Steer, Professor of Chemistry here at the U of S.
