LHU commemorates chemistry program achievement

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. -
Jacqueline Whitling, chair of the Lock Haven University chemistry department, holds a plaque recognizing the American Chemical Society’s approval of the LHU Chemistry program. Standing next to her are David White, dean of the College of Arts and Science (left) and President Keith T. Miller (right). White presented the plaque during the LHU 2008 opening meeting on August 21 in Price Performance Center. ACS approval recognizes that the program’s curriculum and facilities are in line with national standards, that the chemistry faculty are involved in their field, and that students in the program are receiving a quality education. Whitling accepted the plaque on behalf of the university’s chemistry faculty, who were applauded by their colleagues.
