Welcome Message from the General Chair We are excited about being able to host the BCCE. We believe that our campus is a center of excellence in undergraduate education, and we are eager to have you visit and learn something about our programs. Our Department of Chemistry is nationally acclaimed for the quality of its undergraduate education and for its efforts to integrate undergraduate research into its curriculum. In addition, we believe that the Pacific Northwest is one of the most beautiful areas of our country. We are looking forward to your visit and to the chance to show some of the special sights that we value so highly. Our program will be stimulating and valuable, regardless of whether you teach in a four-year college or university, a two-year college, a high school, or a middle school. The principal themes of our program are intended to highlight the unique scientific and cultural environment of the Pacific Northwest. We trust that you will find something in the program that will be of interest to you. I invite you to take some time, explore our local environment, visit our campus, and even plan your vacation to take advantage of your journey to Washington. We have a number of interesting excursions planned during the conference, and we are featuring the opportunity to combine your visit to the BCCE with further vacation opportunities. If you have questions about the conference, please feel to contact me by e-mail or by telephone. I look forward to seeing you in the summer of 2002! George S. Kriz |
