NEW SIGMAN ENDOWED FELLOWSHIP

THE SIGMAN-MARKS FELLOWSHIP IS NOW AN ENDOWED FELLOWSHIP.

This ensures that Distinguished Professor Matt Sigman’s legacy will continue to inspire and support future generations of scholars. It also comes at an auspicious time as Sigman, who holds the Peter J. Christine S. Stang Presidential Endowed Chair, ends his tenure as department chair.

The fellowship was initiated by Jeffrey Marks and Nancy Yu, longtime friends of Jack Simons and parents of a current U undergraduate in the College of Science. Their goal was to support student success and thereby advance the field of physical organic chemistry. The department fellowship provides support and recognition to outstanding graduate students with a research focus in physical organic chemistry. Sigman and his spouse Debbie, who share this interest in supporting research and education in chemistry, also provided an inaugural contribution.

You can help grow this endowed fellowship with your donation. Your gift will help attract and support top graduate students in chemistry, advance research in physical organic chemistry while honoring Matt Sigman’s contributions to this discipline, our university, and community.
