Dr. Xavier Creary, Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Notre Dame, will present a the 3rd Annual Sorin Scholar Lecture titled “Some Thoughts on the Undergraduate Research Experience and Current Society” for the campus community. Dr. Creary will discuss the importance of undergraduate engagement outside of the classroom in today’s world.
Dr. Xavier Creary received his B.S. from Seton Hall University in 1968 and his Ph.D. from The Ohio State University in 1973. After a year as a postdoctoral fellow with J.F. Bunnett at the University of California, Santa Cruz, he joined the faculty at Notre Dame in 1974. Professor Creary¿s research interests are a blend of synthetic and mechanistic organic chemistry directed toward the study of novel reaction mechanisms and reactive intermediates.
Students, faculty, and staff are all welcome to attend, although the event may be of particular interest to FYS students applying to the CUSE Sorin Scholar Program.
