Student and Faculty Honors 2020 Honors Convocation Student and Faculty Honors 2020 This program is dedicated to the Class of 2020 and to students who have earned scholastic and activity honors Tim Rettich Professor of Chemistry Recipient of The Kemp Foundation Award for Teaching Excellence — 2020 “A Grain of Salt” https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=YvKjT1MeFnc&feature=youtu.be Professor of Chemistry Timothy Rettich joined Illinois Wesleyan University as an assistant professor in 1981. He was promoted to associate professor in 1987, and to professor in 2004. Rettich’s general area of interest is physical chemistry, especially thermodynamics and kinetics, with a focus on gas-liquid exchanges including gas liquid solubility, solution thermodynamics, and condensed phase photochemical kinetics. Along with teaching introductory General Chemistry at Illinois Wesleyan, Rettich also teaches upper-level Physical Chemistry I (Thermodynamics) and Physical Chemistry II (Kinetics). Photochemical smog, greenhouse gases, and ozone depletion are common examples of environmental problems that involve Rettich’s area of research, which has been widely published. According to Rettich, understanding the nature of these problems is the first step toward finding a solution. Previous collaborative work done by Rettich and students has focused on photochemical reactions of nitrous acid in the presence of radical scavengers. Rettich earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Dayton and a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Case Western Reserve University. 1 PHI KAPPA PHI Amanda Pippin PERFORMANCE Economics 1922 Taylor Plantan AND EXHIBITION The Margaret Chapman National scholastic honorary for Kayley Rettberg HONORS IN THE Memorial Award in students with junior and senior Kira Schoen standing FINE ARTS Economics Rachel Schoenecker Haylie Aeschliman Tera Wilson Erin Burnison Naing Tun Music Stephen Vega Alexa Latourneau Adam Cady Environmental Bernie Coderre Tera Wilson Theatre Arts Studies Keara Corbett Lauren Yep Taylor Coduto Brianna Fogo Ruihan Zhang Outstanding Senior in Moises Garcia Madisen Debord Environmental Studies Robert Grey Gabrielle Ghaderi MORTAR BOARD Tera Wilson Ellen Gilbert Samuel Hulsizer Excellence in Advancing Amy Gourley National honor society recognizing Maya McGowan college seniors for their exemplary Environmental Richard Guingrich Braden Tanner scholarship, leadership and service Shireen Hassan Travis Ulrich Sustainability Carlos Aromin Marissa Irelan Christopher Woodley Janna Fitzgerald Paraskevi Kakares Ayana Blair Hannah Horn Olivia Causer Alexa Letourneau AWARD Emily Lezcano Klara Cockrell French and Yutong Li Bernie Coderre RECIPIENTS Francophone Studies Maya McGowan Daria Dodonova Outstanding Student in Lauren Neitzel Edward Donathan Creative Writing French and Francophone Rebecca Rochacz Maeghan Eaker Arthur William Hinners Studies Joshua Segatto Laurin Ebert and Louise Hinners Sipfle Nicolina Purpura Logan Servin Megan Frederick Poetry Prize presented by Shiqi Wang Richard Guingrich The Academy of Elisabeth Williams Hispanic Studies Dilyetna Gebru American Poets Julie Xu Zhijia Geng Yovana Milosevic Luis Leal Scholarship for Xu Xu Shireen Hassan Excellence in Hispanic Ruihan Zhang Honorable Mention Allison Henry Studies Bonnie Smith Hannah Heraty Avalon Bruno PHI BETA KAPPA Marissa Irelan Colleen Palczynski 2000 The Illinois Wesleyan Undergraduate honors society Freya Jennison University Department Italian Studies fostering and recognizing excellence Kathryn Jefferson of English Prize for Short in the liberal arts and sciences Jessica Keen Fiction Outstanding Student in Megan Baker Natalie Kuca Italian Studies Paraskevi Kakares Theo Bantas Alexa Letourneau Elisabeth Williams Samantha Berghoff Yesenia Martinez Calderon Honorable Mentions Leah Bieniak Mark Mathison Emma Gray Japanese Studies Adam Cady Jack McKermitt Gillian Thomson Katherine Cavender Exemplary Student in Danielle Ponsot Paige Dold The Illinois Wesleyan Japanese Studies Kayley Rettberg Andrew Duffin University Department of Nathan Vartivarian Breanna Walker Rich Guingrich English Essay Prize Amanda Wesche Tulasi Jaladi Rachel Williams Paraskevi Kakares Lucas Wheat Lincoln Laureate Jack McKermitt Megan Zebrowski Honorable Mention Award Nicholas Milcik Sarah Ziwiski Paraskevi Kakares Kayley Rettberg 2 Music Student Service to Maya McGowan Noah Haskin David Nott Collegiate Campus Life Nicholas Milcik Tulasi Jaladi Choir Scholarship Kayley Rettberg Lauren Neitzel Lakshmi Jayam Esther Niedert Hannah Johnson Spencer Burbach Student Service to the Haley Rojek Rosemary Josenkoski Community Presser Scholarship Sydney Rowley Jessica Keen Hannah Horn Rachel Schoenecker Maya Lach Daria Van de Loo Emily Strub Zoephia Laughlin Student Service as a Naing Tun Jae Won Lee University Employee Nursing Angela Whiting Yushan Liu Kalen Gray Frances D.

Pointers Is Dubhe Dubhe yellowish compared to Merak? 1 Merak THE PLOUGH Figure 1: Sketch of the northern sky in autumn. © Rob Peeling, CaDAS, 2007 version 1.2 Wynyard Planetarium & Observatory PUBLIC OBSERVING – Autumn North 1. On leaving the planetarium, turn around and look northwards over the roof of the building. Close to the horizon is a group of stars like the outline of a saucepan with the handle stretching to your left. This is the Plough (also called the Big Dipper) and is part of the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear. The two right-hand stars are called the Pointers. Can you tell that the higher of the two, Dubhe is slightly yellowish compared to the lower, Merak? Check with binoculars. Not all stars are white. The colour shows that Dubhe is cooler than Merak in the same way that red-hot is cooler than white- hot. 2. Use the Pointers to guide you upwards to the next bright star. This is Polaris, the Pole (or North) Star. Note that it is not the brightest star in the sky, a common misconception. Below and to the left are two prominent but fainter stars. These are Kochab and Pherkad, the Guardians of the Pole. Look carefully and you will notice that Kochab is slightly orange when compared to Polaris.

  • Matthew Boulton and the Soho Mint Numismatic Circular April 1983 Volume XCI Number 3 P 78
    MATTHEW BOULTON AND THE SOHO MINT: COPPER TO CUSTOMER by SUE TUNGATE A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern History College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham October 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

ABSTRACT Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) is well known as an eighteenth-century industrialist, the founder of Soho Manufactory and the steam-engine business of Boulton and Watt. Less well known are his scientific and technical abilities in the field of metallurgy and coining, and his role in setting up the Soho Mint. The intention of this thesis is to focus on the coining activities of Matthew Boulton from 1787 until 1809, and to examine the key role he played in the modernisation of money. It is the result of an Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded collaboration with Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, where, after examination of their extensive collection of coins, medals, tokens and dies produced at the Soho Mint, .research was used to produce a catalogue.

  • HISTORICAL PREFACE J. D. Fernie Chairman, Scientific Org
    HISTORICAL PREFACE J. D. Fernie Chairman, Scientific Org. Committee Department of Astronomy David Dunlap Observatory University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada This Colloquium marked the two hundredth anniversary of the discovery of cepheid variables. On September 10, 1784 Edward Piggot established the variability of the star we now call n Aquilae, the very same night that his friend and co-worker, John Goodricke, first found $ Lyrae to vary. Only a month later, on October 20, Goodricke was "almost convinced" that 6 Cephei is variable. Goodricke is a figure much beloved of textbook writers: his affliction as a deaf-mute, the fact that he died at 21, and his work having been done in relative isolation, have led to his often being portrayed as some kind of bucolic genius. He was, in fact neither. He came of a well-connected family and one, more-over, that was surprisingly en­ lightened for the times. In an age when deaf-muteness was customarily equated with insanity, his parents recognized their son's affliction for what it was, and sent him for special training at an academy in Edinburgh. It is now fairly certain that by the time he was thirteen he could lip-read and perhaps even speak. He continued at a normal school, where he showed intelligence and a reasonable ability in the standard curriculum. Edward Piggot also came of a well-connected and much-travelled family. His father, an imenent surveyor and Follow of various Royal Societies and national Academies, had a strong interest in astronomy and was the correspondent of such as Herschel and Maskelyne.
