Promoting Student Education & Outreach at the 19th Annual Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference

该奖项将为美国学生参加由美国化学学会绿色化学研究所组织的第19届绿色化学和工程会议提供资金。今年的会议将于7月14-16日在马里兰州的贝塞斯达举行。会议将重点催化环境友好型化学和化学工程领域的创新。学生支持将直接用于参加会议的旅行奖学金、学生注册费、评委学生海报会议，以及会议前为期一天的免费学生研讨会的导师费用。会议超出了本科生和研究生的正常课程范围。它将向他们介绍在能源可持续性和环境等至关重要的领域中可用的广泛技术创新和机会。这些都是对我们国家的未来和总体生活质量极其重要的领域。这次会议将抓住这些学生中的许多人在他们考虑职业道路的时候，它将打开一个令人兴奋的机会的广阔前景。此外，他们还将学习如何在当地社区开展外联活动和倡导绿色化学和化学工程。

The award will provide funding for U.S. student participation in the 19th Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference organized by the American Chemical Society Green Chemistry Institute. The conference this year will be held in Bethesda, MD on July 14-16. The conference will focus on catalyzing innovation in the areas of environmental-friendly chemistry and chemical engineering. Student support will be directed toward travel scholarships to attend the conference, registration fees for students, a judged student poster session, and defraying expenses of instructors for a one-day free student workshop before the conference.The conference reaches beyond the normal curriculum for undergraduate and post-graduate students. It will introduce them to the broad range of technical innovations and opportunities available in the vitally important areas of energy sustainability and the environment. These are areas of extreme importance to our nation's future and quality of life in general. The conference will catch many of these students at a time when they are considering career paths, and it will open up a broad vista of exciting opportunities. In addition they will learn how to conduct outreach activities and advocate for green chemistry and chemical engineering in their local communities.
