Announcing the 2022 Jean Dreyfus Lectureship Recipients

2022 Jean Dreyfus Lectureship for Undergraduate Institutions Recipients

The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation is pleased to announce seven new grants in the Jean Dreyfus Lectureship for Undergraduate Institutions program.

The Jean Dreyfus Lectureship awards provide an $18,500 grant to bring a leading researcher to a primarily undergraduate institution to give at least two lectures in the chemical sciences. One of the lectures should be accessible and promoted to a wide audience that includes the general public. The remaining lecture(s) may be more technical. The lecturer is expected to spend more than one day at the institution to substantively interact with undergraduate students and a broad range of faculty over the period of the visit.

A portion of the award is to support two undergraduates in summer research. The undergraduates engaged in summer research are expected to work with mentors in contemporary chemistry.
