2015 NOBCChE Conference

On September 21, 2015 Dr. Linda Hayden attended the 42nd Annual National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE) Conference as a representative of the Science Gateways Institute. Dr. Hayden is the Director of Elizabeth City State University's Center of Excellence in Remote Sensing Education and Research (CERSER) and leads the NSF Science Gateway Institute workforce development efforts. Her presentation can be found here.

The NOBCChE conference brought together distinguished research scientists, promising young investigators, outstanding student members and young professionals for interactive and informative meetings. The NOBCChE Professional Development Program utilizes the collective experience of members and current information relevant to academic and corporate success to prepare students and professionals to excel in their chosen fields.

The Science Gateways Institute sponsored six student and one faculty presentations in computational chemistry.
