This award is made to the University of California at Davis in support of a national career planning workshop for underrepresented minority undergraduate chemistry majors. The workshop to be held July 25-28, 1996, at the Davis campus is the third such workshop, the first having been held in 1992 at Purdue University and the second at UC Davis in 1994. The objective is to bring minority students together with high-achieving minority mentors from industry, academia, and government in order to introduce the students to the opportunities created by obtaining an advanced degree in chemistry. The workshop will be hosted by the University of California Davis Chemistry Department and will provide opportunities for the student participants to observe graduate research, advanced laboratory instrumentation, and to meet with graduate students to discuss areas of mutual interest. This award is viewed as a way of encouraging qualified minority undergraduates to continue their studies in chemistry by introducing them to successful minority role-models in a supportive setting. The longer term objective is to increase the participation of minorities in careers in chemistry that require advanced education.

该奖项颁发给加州大学戴维斯分校，以支持一个针对少数族裔本科化学专业学生的全国性职业规划研讨会。研讨会将于1996年7月25日至28日在戴维斯校区举行，这是第三次这样的研讨会，第一次是1992年在普渡大学举行，第二次是1994年在加州大学戴维斯分校举行。其目标是将少数民族学生与来自工业界、学术界和政府的优秀少数民族导师聚集在一起，向学生介绍获得化学高级学位所创造的机会。研讨会将由加州大学戴维斯分校化学系主办，并将为学生参与者提供机会，观察研究生的研究，先进的实验室仪器，并与研究生会面，讨论共同感兴趣的领域。这个奖项被视为一种鼓励合格的少数民族本科生继续学习化学的方式，通过在一个支持性的环境中向他们介绍成功的少数民族榜样。长期目标是增加少数民族参与需要高等教育的化学职业。
