Message From the Chair

Welcome to the August issue of the Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Newsletter. This month we share news of a special issue of the Electrochemical Society (ECS) Journal of Solid State Science and Technology, which will honor one of our emeritus professors and be led by a current faculty member. We also have details on awards received at this summer's Alumni Reunion by two of our Chemical Engineering alumni.
