Oesper Banquet and Award Presentation

7:15-9:00 p.m.

Featured after dinner speaker
Dennis Jacobs
Vice President & Associate Provost
Professor of Chemistry
University of Notre Dame

The banquet would not be complete without a retrospective look at the winner of this year's Oesper Prize winner. A former graduate student from the Zarelab will reflect on how Prof. Richard N. Zare has inspired generations of scientists in both the classroom and the research laboratory. Prof. Zare combines a youthful passion for discovering the secrets of the universe with a sophisticated determination to make a true difference in the world.

About the Speaker: Dennis C. Jacobs earned B.S. degrees in Chemistry and Physics from the University of California at Irvine and a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Stanford University. Shortly after joining the faculty at Notre Dame in 1988, he was named an Alfred P. Sloan research fellow.

Professor Jacobs' research interests focus on understanding the dynamics of reactions at the gas/surface interface, especially under conditions where the reactants are highly energetic. He is currently flying a set of experiments on the International Space Station to study how materials degrade in the low-earth orbit environment.

In 2002, Dr. Jacobs was named the 'U.S. Professor of the Year for Doctoral and Research Universities' by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. In 2004, he was appointed Vice President and Associate Provost at the University of Notre Dame.

This is the best and easiest way to register. As a lesser alternative, you may send your reservations by email to Kim.Carey@uc.edu. If absolutely impossible to make reservations via the internet, telephone 513-556-0293. Deadline for reservations is 12:00 noon on Monday, October 23, 2006. Include your name, affiliation, banquet dinner choice, and state if you're in one of the 1/2 price categories. As a reminder, if you decide you must miss a meeting after you have made reservations, please call to cancel. If you do not cancel, the Section will have to charge you because it will have been charged by the University.

The banquet price, which includes the following and one drink, is $20 (1/2 price for emeritus, students, K-12, unemployed and new members), and is payable at the door.

Directions: If you approach via I-75, take the Hopple Street exit and turn left at the light. You will pass over the highway. At the next light, go “straight” (straight here is actually about a 45 degree turn to the left). You are now on Martin Luther King Drive. Continue up King to the 4th traffic light. You will reach the first one quickly, the second one about ½ mile after that, the third (Clifton Ave.) after going up a long hill, and the 4th as you continue eastward with the campus on your right. Turn right at this 4th traffic light onto campus, and then right into the parking garage.

If you approach Cincinnati coming south on I-71, get off at the Taft Street exit (exit 3). After the light at the end of the off-ramp, continue straight (west) on Taft for about 1.3 miles. At this time, Hughes High School is directly in front of you, and you must turn. Turn right onto Clifton Avenue. The University is now on your right side. Continue on Clifton to King; turn right (eastbound) on King and follow to the first light. Turn right onto campus, and then right into the library garage.
