Student Development 2
Meandering the Financial Maze: Applying
for a Scholarship or Fellowship Award
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM Oceans 9
This workshop is designed to introduce
negotiations or solution findings to graduate students
and postdocs. Participants will learn to develop
their “best alternative to a negotiated agreement”
and finding their own personal negotiation styles.
Attendees will practice through a selection from case
studies including developing a strong advocate, credit
for research and publications, developing connectedness, obtaining resources that enable productivity,
opportunity to demonstrate strong performance, the
“all important” reference letter and contracting for that
first or new position. Discussions will focus on issues
relevant to minority women.
Securing financial aid for funding a graduate or
undergraduate degree can be a difficult yet
rewarding process. Fortunately, the experiences
of others can make applying for a scholarship or
fellowship awards less of a confounding endeavor!
Learn how to prepare a winning application from our
esteemed panelists, who have received a variety of
undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral
scholarships and fellowships. Panelists will discuss
their personal experiences with applying for awards,
as well as offer insight into what can help make an
application competitive. In addition, information will

As a student or postdoc, you need to maximize
your limited time at the NOBCChE conference
to advance your academic and career goals.
Whether your interest lie in identifying a mentor,
enhancing your network to collaborate with
other subject matter experts, or landing a job,
it’s a necessity to be equipped with tools to
navigate today’s professional landscape. During
this session, members of the Student Programs
Committee will share insightful and practical
guidance for orbiting your career and optimizing
your chances of connecting with professionals to
create STEM opportunities.

The Oral Presentation: How to Make Your’s
Worth Attending
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Oceans 9
In this workshop, participants will be shown the dos
and don’ts of making a scientific presentation.
Covering proper use of titles and captions, avoiding
slide clutter, proper integration of animations, and
other topics, participants will be given the chance to
help identify problems with a presentation slide and
offer ideas on improving the presentations in question. If time permits, discussion will also be done on
the effective preparation of poster presentations.

In these concurrent sessions, participants will have
the opportunity to meet one-on-one with members of
industry, government and academia in order to have
their presentations, resumes or CVs evaluated. All
sessions will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
The Resume/CV Review session will have reviewers
organized by area of employment, so that students
can have their materials reviewed by someone
involved in a desired field of employment.
The Scientific Presentations breakout session will have
a speaker-ready setup so that they can check their
presentations for completeness and correctness.

As the pace of work and activity continues to increase
in today’s age, it becomes increasingly important to
convey one’s opinions and results in a quick, clear and
concise manner. In the Elevator Sessions, students will
get the opportunity to present their research in a distilled, yet easily accessible form. Participants will get
recordings of their ‘elevator speeches’ with feedback
so that they have the opportunity to continue improving this necessary skill. There will also be time to build
peer networks for collaboration and mentorship, so
business cards are recommended.

COACh Workshop 2: Negotiation, Communication
and Leadership Workshop for Faculty
8:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Palani
This seminar is designed to build understanding of mutual interest based
negotiations and problem-solving, which is a useful skill in both individual and
leadership contexts. The content will focus on understanding the other parties’
interests as well as negotiating for what you need to be successful. Participants
will be asked to bring examples of challenging negotiations or meetings, either
from the past or in the near future, and will leave with techniques to help them
be more effective professionals.
The content includes:
• Enhancing personal presence with verbal and non-verbal use;
• Developing options that enhance the possibility of reaching agreement;
• Identifying a best alternative or BATNA;
• What to say in the first five minutes of any negotiation;
• Introduction of the concepts of anchoring and a zone of possible agreement;
• Techniques for responding to difficult behavior and
• Personal practice in small and large groups with coaching feedback.
Participants will evaluate their personal conflict resolution styles using case
studies. The cases reinforce the use of effective negotiating styles and help
define patterns of negotiations when choice and stress are factors. Development
of supporting data, options and packaging solutions are examined relative to the
case studies. Participants will also practice their own challenging situations and
receive feedback and suggestions. Several methods of responding to difficult
tactics are demonstrated and discussed.

A Dialogue in the Disciplines: How Chemists &
Chemical Engineers Collaborate to Innovate
10:00 AM - 11:30 AM Labrid
Presented by the NSF funded Centers for Chemical Innovation
Discoveries are the currency of science and the means by which knowledge is
expanded. But discovering new knowledge can be a massive undertaking; working alone can lead to slow returns. The importance and utility of collaborations
are often emphasized, but how does one find collaborators that can effectively
expedite the pace of progress?
This professional development panel discussion explores just that. Chemists,
chemical engineers, and program administrators from the Centers for Chemical
Innovation will share their experiences in developing relationships and fostering
fruitful collaborations. Reaching across academia, industry, communication, and
policy, the session seeks to showcase the deeply vested and personal partnerships that have led to results and products that could not have manifested
by any individual’s sole contribution. Panelists will share the details of their
collaborations, including how they met their collaborators, identified synergistic
interests, overcame obstacles and challenges and finally formed the strong sustainable partnerships that exist today. Best practices, guidance, and an honest
perspective on mechanisms for fostering strong scientific research and broader
impact collaborative opportunities will be presented.
Through exemplars and a candid dialogue, this session will facilitate an open
forum for a rich discussion on innovative ways scientists are working collaboratively, across a spectrum of domains, to advance chemical science research and
bridge generations through STEM.

Social Media Bootcamp: Effectively Promoting Your Brand
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM
Labrid
Social media has become an integral part of success in business, research,
government and academia. The biggest professional challenge is how to develop a creative, sustainable and effective implementation strategy. This interactive
workshop will address questions of which platform to use (e.g. Facebook, Twitter,
Vine, YouTube, Google+, or LinkedIn), the benefits of each, as well as the tips and
techniques for time management. The data will show which industries are using
social media, how success is measured and speculate on future applications.
Social media is proving to not just be a toy for teenagers, but rather an effective
communication tool for business and technical professionals.

NCB Science Café Series – Careers in Education:
Making the Transition from Graduate to Teacher
A Formula for Success - Communicating Your Research
to Multiple Stakeholders
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM Palani A
2:00 PM - 3:15 PM
Are you passionate about pursuing a career in education? Do you know your
options in pursuing this career? Do you know the requirements to work in an academic setting at any level? Please join panelists from various teaching capacities:
community college/2yr institutions and 4yr institutions to discuss their career
path in education. Speakers will also discuss the pros and cons of working at
each institution and what do they view as being successful in academia.
The ability to effectively communicate one’s research and interests can be critical
to academic and career advancement. Whether you are at a networking event
or a meeting with a major research funder like the National Science Foundation,
all scientists need to become skilled communicators. In fact, many of the hiring
representatives and funding decision makers will likely not have the same level
of training (or interest) in your research as you do. How will you communicate
the significance and societl benefits of your research? How will you authentically
demonstrate your passion and commitment? How will you communicate for
understanding without overwhelming your audience with technical details that
may not work in your favor. How will you leave a lasting positive impression?
It is important to keep in mind that while an innovative scientific research project
or method may be intriuging, more often than not the decision to hire or grant
an award often comes down to the most persuasive and effective communicator.
Become that communicator. Hone your communication skills.

Special Session 1: STEM’s Impact on 21st Century Forensic Science
3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Mako
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) is considered the essential component in forensic science.
The most recent results of the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), which measures math and science
literacy of 15 year olds in 64 developed and developing countries, ranked the U.S. 35th in math and 27th in science.
Is there really a need for science in future forensic science? In an effort to show the important role STEM preparation plays
in the forensic profession, Dr. Murrell Godfrey (Associate Professor and Director of Forensic Chemistry at The University of
Mississippi), Ms. Rashida M. Weathers (Director of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Mid-Atlantic Laboratory), and
Mr. Darrell Davis (Former Director of the DEA South Central Laboratory and CEO/President of the Committee for Action
Program Services – Analytical Training Laboratory (CAPS-ATL)) have assembled a dynamic collection of forensic
academicians and practitioners that will give abbreviated talks on the impact STEM has in specific forensic disciplines.
The speakers will later convene as a panel and field questions from the audience concerning career opportunities and
the importance of quality assurance and accreditation processes.

(see times in schedule)
Winifred Burks-Houck Leadership
Symposium and Luncheon
Winifred Burks-Houck earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry
from Dillard University New Orleans, and a master’s degree in
organic chemistry from Atlanta University. She spent most
of her career as an or-ganic chemist at Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratory working on environmental protection
projects. For NOBCChE, Burks-Houck was recognized for her
efforts to actively establish the organization on the West
Coast. She was the frst chair of the San Francisco Bay Area
Chapter from 1984 to 1990, and organized numerous
educational and professional development activities for the
local community.
In 1991, Burks-Houck was elected national vice president
of NOBCChE, a position she held until becoming
president in 1993. She served for four consecutive terms until
stepping down in 2001. During her tenure as president,
Burks-Houck expanded the organization to include many new
professional and student chapters. She also developed a strong
relationship between NOBCChE and ACS that has enhanced
both organizations’ outreach programs for minority chemists.
The Winifred Burks-Houck Professional Leadership Symposium
aims to honor Winifred A. Burks-Houck, the frst female
president of NOBCChE, by highlighting the scientifc
achievements, creativity, leadership, and community service of two
NOBCChE-affliated professional women and a NOBCChE
undergraduate and graduate student working towards a degree
in chemistry, chemical engineering, or a related feld.
In the legacy of Winifred Burks Houck, the keynote speaker for the 6th Annual symposium is Dr. Pamela Mccauly, Professor in the Department
of Industrial Engineering and Management Systems at the University of Central Florida.

Percy Julian Lecture & Luncheon
The Percy L. Julian Award for significant contributions in pure
and/or applied research in science or engineering is our
most prestigious award. Dr. Julian was an African-American
who obtained his BS in Chemistry from DePauw University
in 1920. Although he entered DePauw as a “substandard
freshman,” he graduated as the class valedictorian with Phi
Beta Kappa honors. His frst job was as an instructor at Fisk
University. Julian left Fisk and obtained a master’s degree in
chemistry from Harvard in 1928, and his Ph.D. in 1931 from the
University of Vienna, Austria. It was after his return to DePauw
in 1933 that Julian conducted the research that led to the
synthesis of physostigmine, a drug used in the treatment of
glaucoma2. Julian left DePauw in 1936 to become director of
research of the Soya Products Division of the Glidden Company
in Chicago. This position at Glidden made Julian the world’s
frst African – American to lead a research group in a major
corporation. Dr. Julian rewarded Gliden’s faith in him by
producing many new commercial products from soy beans.
An entrepreneur as well as a scientist, in 1953 he founded
Julian Laboratories and later Julian Associates, Inc. and the
Julian Research Institute. Over the course of his career he
acquired over 115 patents, including one for a fre-extinguishing
foam that was used on oil and gasoline fres during World War II2.
Though he had over 100 patents and 200 scientifc publications,
his most notable contribution was in the synthesis of steroids
from soy and sweet potato products. Dr. Julian’s life and
contributions were the subject of a recent biopic by NOVA/PBS
entitled, “Forgotten Genius.”3 The flm was broadcast nationally
on February 6, 2007 on PBS TV stations.
The 2015 Percy Julian Award Winner and Lecturer is Dr. Milton Brown from Georgetown University. He is selected for his extensive work
in drug discovery & development in the fields of cancer & neuroscience and the strong and passionate recommendation of his colleagues.

What are you looking for? A company that sees what you can
do, not who you are? An inclusive culture that welcomes different
perspectives, experiences, and styles? A chance to add your ideas to
a rich diversity of thinking? An opportunity to make a difference?
Wouldn’t it be great if a company could answer all those questions
for you. And, ask you to answer some of the biggest questions
around like, what’s the future of healthcare? What does a truly
global business look like? And how do you help millions of people
worldwide to do more, feel better and live longer?
