Secretary’s Report Jerry L. Sarquis

CHED Appointments At the Executive Committee Meeting Diane Bunce was appointed to the Board of Publication and Marcy Towns was appointed to the Examinations Institute Board of Trustees. Each will serve a 2005–2007 term. The appointment of a member of DivCHED as the U.S. representative to IUPAC was made subsequent to meeting (see below). High School Teacher Awards Endowment The Executive Committee also approved the founding document for the Division’s new Regional High School Teacher Award. Glenn Crosby will be initiating a fund drive to raise $100,000 over a two-year period to be matched on a 1:1 basis by CHED. This will provide an endowment for funding Regional High School Teacher Awards in each of the ACS regions. The goal of the drive is to raise $300,000 or more. (A fuller description of this Endowment program, donating to it, and making a donation in honor of a person appears on p 23). Participate in Committee Meetings All CHED members are invited to attend the CHED governance meetings that will be held in conjunction with the San Diego ACS meeting. On Saturday morning, the Executive Committee will meet. The Business Meeting will be held just before the Sunday evening CHED Poster Session/ Social Hour. All members are welcome and encouraged to attend both meetings. Other committee meetings may also be held. Near the time of the meeting, the time and location of open meetings will be posted on the Division’s Web page, http://www.divched.org/. Keep Your Address Up to Date It is important to update your address with ACS whenever you move. Each time a Newsletter or ballot is mailed, there are some who do not receive those items because their address is out of date. CHED gets the mailing lists to generate the mailing labels from ACS. However, the request has to be made at least two weeks before the list is needed so there is usually about a one-month lag time. There are two ways to make changes to your mailing information: • First option: Contact ACS asking that your file be updated. The email address is [email protected]; telephone is 800/333-9511 (U.S. only). • Second Option: Check your information and make any changes online. Go to www.acs.org. If you have never logged on before, or if you have forgotten your login name and password, simply log in as a New User (box at upper left-hand part of the page) and create a login name and password. Once you are logged in, choose the Edit My Profile link to check (and correct, if necessary) the current information.

Email Addresses Needed! The Executive Committee is planning to have a limited number of communications sent out infrequently. Therefore it is important that your email address be part of the data in the ACS Roster. Check and update your email address (as well as your other mailing information) using one of the options described above. Outstanding Service Award Diane Bunce The Division of Chemical Education Outstanding Service Award was instituted in 2002 to recognize the extraordinary efforts of one or two Division members whose contributions to the Division have been truly outstanding. The annual award is presented at the Division’s banquet at the Fall ACS Meeting. Derek A. Davenport and Uni Susskind were the winners of the 2004 award. A photograph of Derek and Uni taken at the banquet appears in Figure 1, above. Appointment to IUPAC John Clevenger Mort Hoffman, Chair-Elect of CHED, has been appointed by IUPAC as their U.S. National Representative to the IUPAC Committee on Chemistry Education (CCE). The term of the appointment is two years (2004–2006) and is renewable. As representative, Hoffman will attend CCE meetings during the ICCE international conferences (the next will be in Seoul in 2006) and at the IUPAC General Assembly and Conference (Beijing in 2005), considering international issues such as chemical education in the developing world, public understanding of chemistry, and chemical use in weapons and voting on the allocation of funds for projects. As the Journal’s IUPAC reporter, Hoffman will report on the organization’s meetings and conferences in these pages.

Solicitation Committee: DivCHED Teaching Excellence Endowment Campaign Begins Glenn Crosby and Kathleen Thompson Are you ready to support great science teaching? If so, then plan to join the DivCHED and other ACS members who have already made contributions to the Division of Chemical Education Teaching Excellence Endowment. Glenn Crosby, chair of the Endowment Task Force, has kicked off the fund-raising campaign at the Southeast Regional Meeting in Research Triangle Park in November by announcing that more than $30,000 has been already been collected toward the goal. A total of $300,000 will ultimately be needed to ensure that a teacher in each region will receive the minimum $1000 that accompanies the honor each year. The endowment was established by the division to fund annual awards to teachers of chemistry and the chemical sciences in each of the ten regions of the American Chemical Society. At the 2004 ACS spring national meeting, the divi-

sion agreed to match the first $100,000 in contributions to the fund. Crosby hopes to obtain gifts from many individuals to demonstrate to the high school teacher community that there are many influential scientists and engineers who appreciate excellence in science teaching and wish to reward those who excel in that demanding profession. In addition, the intent of this award program is to establish a firm presence of the Division of Chemical Education in all ACS Regions and to promote greater involvement of high school teachers in the activities of the ACS. Contributions to help fund the award, to be known as the Division of Chemical Education Regional Award in High School Teaching, can be made by sending a check, payable to the American Chemical Society, to the ACS Department of Meetings and Expositions Services, c/o CHED HS Fund, American Chemical Society, 1155 16th Street NW, Washington, DC 20036. Please visit chemistry.org/meetings/regional or www.divched.org for a downloadable contribution form or call 800/227-5558 ext. 8072.

American Chemical Society Dear Colleague: Why are you a chemist? Many of us would agree with Eli Pearce, Past President of the American Chemical Society (ACS), when he said “my excellent high school teacher was definitely responsible for my choosing chemistry as a career.” And now you can join the effort to ensure that the great teachers who launch so many scientific careers are recognized and rewarded by their professional society! The ACS Division of Chemical Education has stepped forward to establish an endowment that will support awards for high school science teachers in every Region of the ACS. By establishing an effort to solicit funds for the Division of Chemical Education Teaching Excellence Endowment, the Division is making a firm financial commitment to high school science teaching, ACS Regions, and the profession of chemistry. But the project will not be successful without your help. Our goal is to raise $300,000 for the endowment. With these funds, each region will be able to award $1000 annually to an outstanding high school teacher. To encourage contributions and underscore its commitment, the Division of Chemical Education Executive Committee has authorized a challenge grant through which the first $100,000 in contributions will be matched on a 1:1 basis. Our goal is not just a financial one; we are anxious to assemble a lengthy list of donors containing names, of both individuals and collective entities, that will demonstrate to the secondary education community that there is a large number of science professionals who appreciate the value of good science teaching in the Nation’s high schools and who are willing to reward it. Various ways to contribute to the Division of Chemical Education Teaching Excellence Endowment are enclosed. We urge you, as an individual, to join us and give generously to this project. It is a unique, one-time event. Once the Endowment is established these teaching awards will be conferred in ACS Regions every year. President-Elect Bill Carroll has put increasing ACS attention to secondary education, particularly high school teachers, on his agenda for his presidential year in 2005. He agrees with our members when he states “teachers make the difference and I’m a big fan of honoring them”. Join Bill and become a fan! Use the enclosed form and join other individuals and organizations that have already contributed $35,000 to the campaign—before its official beginning. Most of all, join what will be thousands of people who know, without that special teacher, their future would look very different. John V. Clevenger Chair

Association Reports: ACS Division of Chemical Education From the Exams Institute, Assessment Products Thomas A. Holme The Exams Institute continues to explore new assessment products. A committee is currently forming to write an exam for the first term of the full-year Organic course with a projected publication date of fall 2006. A partnership with educators from Brigham Young University has been established to build a Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) system for assessment, utilizing Exams Institute items. Work on new laboratory assessment concepts is also being piloted. Finally, the Exams Institute is working with a task force from the ACS Society Committee on Education (SOCED) to consider ways to provide more flexible assessments that maintain the advantage of nationally calculated statistical norms. As always, the development of new materials relies on dedicated volunteers from the Chemical Education community.

Association Reports: ACS Division of Chemical Education Innovative Progamming Grant Morton Z. Hoffman The ACS Divisional Activities Committee (DAC) has funded a proposal from CHED for support of two outreach symposia in its meeting programs in 2005: Educating Biochemists for the Future, not the Past, cosponsored by the Education and Professional Development Committee of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) at the Spring Meeting in San Diego; Chemical Education in Europe, cosponsored by the Division of Chemical Education of the Federation of European Chemical Societies (FECS) in Washington, DC. DAC awarded $6500 for the two symposia; CHED provided $1000 of matching funds. Report from ACS Council Mickey Sarquis The ACS Council meeting was held on August 25, 2004 as a part of the Philadelphia conference. Councilors representing CHED were Mickey Sarquis, Carol White, Richard Jones, and Jerry Sarquis.

ACS Council Actions Council actions included electing persons to fill open slots on various Council committees; the results were as follows. Committee on Committees Lawrence Barton, Lissa Dulany, Larry Krannich, Mary Virginia Orna, and Eleanor Siebert. Council Policy Committee Rita Boggs, Dean Cooke, Yorke Rhodes, and Peter Stang. Committee on Nominations and Elections Frank Blum, Michael Doyle, Carol Duane, Ruth Ann Hathaway, Kathleen Schulz, and Ellen Stechel.

Director, District IV, 2005–2007 Eric D. Bigham, GlaxoSmithKline, Chapel Hill, NC; Paul R. Jones, University of North Texas, Denton, TX; Robert L. Lichter, Merrimack Consultants, LLC, Atlanta, GA; John L. Massingill, Jr., Texas State University, San Marcos, TX. Candidate Statement Guidelines: President-Elect and Board of Directors. The Council discussed a recent decision by the Committee on Nominations to reduce the allowable length for candidate statements (President-Elect and Board of Directors) from 1000 words to 750. A resolution was defeated at Council that would have allowed candidate statements to be 1000 words or more.

ACS Council Votes At this meeting, Council voted to accept: • The petition to amend the Bylaws to change the membership requirements for pre-college teachers in the society. The change allows experienced qualified chemistry teachers, who may not have previously fully met the requirements, to become members based on their status and experience. With the change, fully certified, licensed, or otherwise qualified pre-college teachers of chemistry are now eligible for ACS membership after three years of employment as a chemistry teacher. The change also makes those pre-college chemistry or allied science teachers, who lack the teaching requirements but otherwise qualify, eligible for associate membership. • A petition to amend the Bylaws to allow for electronic balloting was passed. This change allows the use of electronic balloting by not specifying a particular balloting procedure. Additionally, the option of using any form of balloting is available to all members, as long as it provides security against unauthorized balloting and that it allows timely reporting and archiving of the election results. • The petition to amend the Bylaws to change the date that Divisional annual reports are due from March 15 to February 15 • CEPA’s minor revision of the ACS Professional Employment Guidelines to a 7th edition • The petition for a name change from the Peoria Local Section to the Illinois Heartland Local Section (as proposed through LSAC) • Wichita Falls–Duncan Sections required for annexation of four counties currently located in the Dallas– Fort Worth Section (as proposed through LSAC)

ACS Council Discussion In addition to the above, Council also engaged in a discussion of multidisciplinary opportunities that exist for the Society. Growing involvements in nanoscience, chemical biology, bio-pharma, computational chemistry, materials chemistry, and engineering were acknowledged and recognized as consistent with the ACS strategic plan, including:

Vol. 82 No. 1 January 2005

Chemical Education Today

• Redefine chemistry to include the multidisciplinary fields in which chemistry and chemical engineering play enabling roles • Develop programs to attract the broadest range of chemical professionals

Additional items of interest are that a Membership survey will be sent out for the first time in 10 years, and that the price of advance registration at meetings was increased to $295.

• Create and nurture multidisciplinary communities

Questions of placement of multidisciplinary chemistry and chemists in the Society, impacts on education both within and external to the Society, and classification and identification of these chemists were also discussed. The Committee of Economic and Professional Affairs, CEPA, is responsible for the dispersion of chemistry as a discipline, including recruitment of members who do not have a strong identity as “chemists”. CEPA is seeking input on ways ACS should connect to growing areas such as biotech/pharma, what services should be provided to multidisciplinary members, and providing a professional home to such groups. Some specific questions that were raised include: • Which multidisciplinary chemists do we want to attract and retain? How will we do this? • Are there particular groups we want to target? • What multidisciplinary programs would be most attractive to ACS members in industry or government? • What “home” would be most attractive? New Divisions? Sub-divisions? Secretariats? • What are the barriers? Structure? Membership requirements? Culture? • What would be the impact on existing members if we are successful? • What opportunities did we miss? Is it too late? • What areas do we need to serve better? • What does ACS have to offer that will compete with boutique societies? • What areas are underserved? • Do we need new structures?

A new task force has been appointed to consider all of these issues. All members of the Society are invited to provide input on this topic by contacting [email protected].
