On July 13, 2019 from 5pm-8pm, the NYSAS organization celebrated their student award winners at the annual celebration banquet. The banquet was held at Rutgers State University in the new Chemistry and Chemical Biology building on Bevier road in Piscataway, NJ. This year we celebrated the accomplishments of three winners:
Graduate Award – Jing Li (SUNY Binghamton)
Undergraduate Awards – Philip Charles (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) & Alexander Green (SUNY Fredonia)
The event featured entertainment by Josh Mark, a local guitarist/singer who did a great job at entertaining the group with contemporary rock tunes throughout the dinner portion of the meeting. A raffle was held midway through the event where a number of custom NYSAS USB drives and a power quality filter (i.e. surge protector) donated by ZeroSurge Inc. (ZeroSurge.com) was raffled off. The students brought posters of their work and there was plenty of opportunity to network with the students and guests. Debbie Peru was Master of Ceremony for the event and recognized the officers for their time and commitment to the organization. Mike Cutrera presented the students with a plaque and cash award. About 21 people attended the event included friends and family members of NYSAS. Everyone had a wonderful time.
