COVERAGE OF THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF UD STUDENTS IS NOT CONFINED TO PUBLICATIONS LIKE THIS.
In fact, our students find their accomplishments covered not only in international publications like The New York Times but also in important niche publications for specific academic disciplines.
So
while you might not have heard of Inorganic Chemistry Communications,
its editors have certainly heard of theUniversity of Dayton. The
science-focused journal recognized a group of UD students whose
undergraduate research resulted in making close to 30 new compounds
using a variety of rare-earth elements.
In true UD fashion, the
students’ work was a collaborative affair, led by Shawn Swavey (l),
assistant professor of chemistry. Among the students was premed major
Gilford Stephen Vincent Jr. (r), who found Swavey’s guidance
invaluable.
“I was a freshman when I began working with Dr.
Swavey, and he helped me truly understand how to work in the lab,” says
Vincent. “It could have been intimidating, but it was anything but. He
didn’t just act as a professor; he was a mentor.” Their work has
brought the University’s science program national acclaim.
