UNCG CHEMISTRY PROFESSOR RECEIVES TEACHER-SCHOLAR AWARD

GREENSBORO — Dr. Alice Haddy, associate professor of chemistry at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, was one of five chemistry and biochemistry professors selected from across the country to receive the 2000 Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award.

The Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award provides a $60,000 unrestricted grant to its recipients. Of this amount, $5,000 is allocated to the chemistry and biochemistry department for undergraduate educational and research purposes. To date, the foundation has provided UNCG a total of $80,000.

Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation, Inc., sponsors the Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards program, which is designed to provide external support to young faculty members at early stages of their academic careers in undergraduate education. It is the Foundation's expectation that this award will assist these outstanding scientists to continue the high level of accomplishment in education and research they continue to demonstrate. The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation, Inc., was established in 1946 by chemist, inventor and businessman Camille Dreyfus as a memorial to his brother, Henry, also a chemist and his partner in developing the first commercially successful system of cellulose acetate fiber production.

A UNCG faculty member since 1994, Haddy is a specialist in physical biochemistry. She has published several articles in professional journals and has presented papers at conferences. Before coming to UNCG, she was a senior research fellow at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. She also did postdoctoral research at Chalmers University of Technology in Goteborg, Sweden and at the University of Michigan. She received her doctorate from Michigan.
