2015 Joint Great Lakes/Central Regional Meeting 1


Program Co-Chair Welcome General Information

Dear Colleagues:

On behalf of the entire Organizing Committee we welcome you to Grand Rapids in the
Mitten State. It is indeed an honor to have you here participating in a full program of
Chemistry: a Grand Enterprise, which embraces our three thematic areas of Food,
Health, and the Environment. We are certain that you will find the varied program of
workshops, poster sessions, symposia, social events, and lectures by award-winning
industrial and academic presenters stimulating and inspiring.

Our exhibitors and sponsors, both industrial and academic, are situated prominently
along your pathway between meeting rooms and we encourage you to interact with
them; they are important contributors to the success of the meeting and to the future of
our profession. Take advantage also of the Sci-Mix event on Thursday evening when our
exhibitors will be at their booths during that poster session.

We extend a special welcome to students who are attending and presenting at this
meeting; you are our future and we are pleased that you are taking an active role
in furthering our science. Some of them are responsible for the undergraduate
programming; we appreciate their enthusiasm.

New to his meeting is a forum, to be hosted by current ACS President Dr. Diane Schmidt,
which seeks input from industrial chemists on how the ACS can be a catalyst for
constructive dialogue between our industrial members and the educational community.

A special honor is to have Dr. Tom Connelly, the brand new Executive Director and CEO
of the ACS, present with us on Wednesday and Thursday. This is the very first Regional
Meeting of his short tenure (he began his responsibilities at the ACS on February 17) and
we are delighted that he placed us on his schedule.

We hope that you plan to attend the Ice Cream Social on Friday afternoon; there you
may speak informally with the six members of the Board of Directors who will be in
attendance, including our current president and our president-elect, Dr. Donna Nelson.

Thanks for being here! Enjoy the Meeting and may you remember it as one at which you
established successful career connections.


Lydia E. M. Hines Neal M. Fox

General Information ACS President Welcome

Dear Joint Great Lakes/Central Regional Meeting participants,

On behalf of the more than 158,000 members of the American Chemical Society, I am
happy to extend my personal greetings to all of you attending the 2015 Joint Great Lakes/
Central Regional Meeting in lovely Grand Rapids, Michigan.

With the meeting theme of Chemistry–A Grand Enterprise, and with a focus on Food,
Health & the Environment, the technical program will include highlights such as
fermentation, food chemistry, medicinal chemistry, radical reactions in organic synthesis,
and undergraduate teaching, among others. Scott Denmark of the University of Illinois,
Urbana-Champaign, is the plenary speaker, with Joan Brennecke of the University of
Notre Dame and Dustin Mergott of Eli Lilly & Co. delivering keynote addresses.

I look forward to seeing many of you at noon on Thursday where I will be speaking at
Women Chemists Committee luncheon. My colleague Bill Carroll will be the speaker at the
Younger Chemists Committee at the same time.

Please join your fellow colleagues Friday evening for the Awards Banquet which will
feature the presentation of the E. Ann Nalley Regional Award for Volunteer Service to
ACS, the ACS Division of Chemical Education Regional Award for Excellence in High
School Chemistry Teaching, the ACS Stanley C. Israel Regional Award for Advancing
Diversity in the Chemical Sciences, and the newly instituted Partners for Progress
& Prosperity (P3) Award, which is given to encourage and recognize successful and
exemplary partnerships. ACS Past-President Thomas H. Lane will give the keynote
address at the banquet.

With all these events and great symposia, I want to express my special thanks to the
JGLCRM cochairs: Lydia E. M. Hines and Neal M. Fox, and to our cohosts: the Kalamazoo
Section in the Great Lakes Region and the Western Michigan Section in the Central
Region for their hard work and dedication to create a great experience here in Grand
Rapids.

Best wishes for a most successful JGLCRM 2015!

Sincerely,

Diane Grob Schmidt, Ph.D.

The ethics workshop will be an interactive event. Typical ethical situations will be
presented as Case Studies. These items have been developed from composites of
reported ethical issues from a various jobs in the chemical profession. After each Case
Study is presented, the workshop participants will be able to use clickers or smart device
technology to vote on the predicted actual resolution of the issue (from a selection of
multiple choice options). Often reality is not the best choice. The voting usually generates
discussion about finding better resolution, or even how to prevent situations from
accelerating out of control.

Data will be collected on the views about common professional values embraced by
members of ACS. There will be opportunities for participants to construct their own case
scenarios and projected possible resolutions.

Region Award for Excellence in High School Teaching

Brad Portis, Gull Lake High School

Forty nine years ago, a high school junior who was a geeky student athlete
was sitting in his high school Chemistry class and made a rather simple life
decision. He was going to be a high school Chemistry teacher and coach.
That career choice took him to Michigan State University where he earned
a Bachelors of Science Degree in Chemistry while also earning his teaching
certificate and minors in Math and Psychology. On his first day of student
teaching at Flint Southwestern high school, he was so nervous he locked his keys in the car - while
it was still running. His first two years of teaching were at his old high school - Southgate Aquinas
– where he was hired without so much as an interview or background check. That is where he also
began coaching Cross Country and Track. He taught Chemistry, Honors Chemistry, Physics and a
very basic math class. After two years there he sent a few resumes to schools in the Kalamazoo
area and he was hired by Gull Lake Community Schools two weeks before his wedding. Brad Portis
has been a teacher/coach at Gull Lake High School the last thirty-seven years. He earned a Masters
Degree from Western Michigan University in Counseling. At Gull Lake High School he has helped
coach five state champions and over a hundred All-State athletes. He has been named Coach of
the Year by the Wolverine Conference several times and was a State Finalist for that honor as well.
He is a member of the Wolverine Conference Distinguished Service Hall of Fame. Brad Portis has
been named the Chemistry Teacher of the Year by the Kalamazoo Section of the American Chemical
Society. He earned a similar award from Tri-State University. He was also a state finalist in for
Secondary Educator of the Year during the Governor Blanchard administration. All of these awards
and accolades are great honors; but it is the achievement of his students that he cherishes the
most; he has developed the ability to connect with his students and push them past their comfort

zone. He is intense and demanding, yet also sensitive to individual needs and is inclusive. He offers
accommodations for the “borderline” students in order to keep them “in the game”. He emphasizes
labwork. His students volunteer to assist annually with hands on Chemistry activities during National
Chemistry Week celebrations at the Kalamazoo Valley Museum. In 2015 they also helped at the Mind
Trekkers’ Challenge at Gull Lake Community Schools. Scores of his students have earned scholarship
money in the American Chemical Society’s Competitive Scholarship Examination (Kalamazoo Section)
and three of his students have finished first in that competition over the years. Hundreds of his
students have gone on to successful careers around the country as chemistry teachers, medical
doctors, nurses, pharmacists....and other careers involving Chemistry. One is now a Professor at
Michigan State University! Thanks to current technology, his former students continue to keep
connected with him. The toughest class at Gull Lake High School is Advanced Placement Chemistry;
but at the end of the year, many of those students say it has also been their favorite class. For
education to matter, it must produce a fundamental and enduring change in the individual. It is clear
that that is exactly the effect Mr. Portis produces in his students.... year after year.

Stan C. Israel Award for Advancing Diversity in the


Chemical Sciences

Tom Higgins

Dr. Thomas B. Higgins is being recognized for his unparalleled dedication


to advancing diversity in the chemical sciences and fostering activities to
promote inclusiveness in the region. As a professor at Harold Washington
community college in Chicago where 82% of student population is
comprised of traditionally classified racial and ethnic minorities, he has
been a relentless advocate for engaging underrepresented students in
research programs and promoting excellence in chemistry education. Dr. Higgins’ students have
co-authored 15 of his presentations at conferences and 13 of his publications. In addition, he
has served as a Principal and Co-Principal Investigator for a total of 10 ground-breaking awards
aimed to bring advanced knowledge of chemistry to the City of Chicago community college system
students. Dr. Higgins’ efforts go far beyond Harold Washington College or even the entire City of
Chicago community college system, to enlighten other educators on the importance, challenges,
and strategies of engaging chemistry students in minority-serving institutions. Dr. Higgins has made
more than 70 local, regional, and national conference presentations, and organized 11 symposia and
workshops designed to arm the attendees with the skills necessary to best serve diverse student
bodies. Dr. Higgins has demonstrated exemplary service to the American Chemical Society through
his work on the Society Committee on Education, the Board Presidential Task Force on Education,
Two Year College Chemistry Consortium, Committee on Minority Affairs, the Two Year College
Chemistry Guidelines Task Force and Dissemination Task Force, and the Council on Undergraduate

Kenya and Chemists without Borders

Marya Lieberman earned her BS degree in chemistry at the


Massachusetts Institute of Technology, then was awarded a Hertz
Predoctoral Fellowship and studied de novo protein design with
Tomikazu Sasaki at the University of Washington in Seattle, earning
the PhD in 1994.  She received an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship
for work in surface chemistry at Caltech with Nathan Lewis.  She
is currently an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at
the University of Notre Dame, where she likes to knit tiny potholders out of DNA and cut
messages into molecular films using a 2 nm electron beam as a lawnmower.  About four
years ago, she became interested in the constraints of carrying out chemical analysis in
low resource settings and devised a lab-on-paper system to speed up the detection of low
quality and fake medicines. These paper test cards are being used to screen hundreds
of medications in Kenya and other developing countries.  Fast field tests like these are a
concrete step towards detection and removal of the very poor quality pharmaceuticals
that kill hundreds of thousands of people every year.
