Hoffman The award for the Most Original National Chemistry Week (NCW) Hands-On Activity during 2009 was presented to the Northeastern Section by the Committee on Community Activities on Tuesday, August 24, during the ACS meeting in Boston. In addition to NESACS, the finalists in this cate- gory were the Cleveland and Savannah River local sections. The activity that was cited in the award was held at the Boston Children’s Museum and was designed to relate chemical elements to everyday life. Samples of elements were paired with real-world examples of where those ele- ments may be found. According to Christine Jaworek-Lopes (Emmanuel College), the NESACS NCW coordinator, “In addition to the elemental samples, we had three bags of beads, each containing 100 beads. The bags represented the elemental composition of the earth’s crust, the earth’s atmosphere, and the human body. We provided information to each visitor regarding the composition of the systems in question, as well as a key relating bead color to element. We then asked them to match the bag to the proper system. N Children and parents loved this visual!” Christine Jaworek-Lopes (Emmanuel College), at right, with Patrick Gor- don (Emmanuel College), NESACS Chair-Elect, at the ChemLuminary Award poster.

Much of the teaching at commu- nity colleges is performed by adjunct faculty members. Even though BHCC has 12 full-time faculty members in the STEM disciplines, the increasing enrollment at community colleges requires that the majority of the classes are taught by adjunct faculty members, explained Professor Atkinson. These faculty members are hired by the dean of the college, with input from the department chair. Fortu-

Students at the workshop spent two weeks learning crucial laboratory techniques, such as DNA isolation, PCR analysis, and protein purification assays. “I think it’s really important for commu- nity colleges to become embedded in this field [biotechnology workshops],” said Professor Olson. “My biotechnol- ogy students can get a leg up.” Professor Griffin acknowledged that community colleges sometimes get a bad reputation, for example, for their low graduation rates. Such a rep- utation, however, fails to account for students who successfully transferred to Ivy League “bumper-sticker” schools without finishing their associ- ate’s degree. “What really upsets me is our response to that [criticism],” Pro- fessor Griffin said. “We have an oppor-
