This paper reports on the results obtained by a group of undergraduate students participating in an International Research Experience for Undergraduate Students funded by the National Science Foundation.  The work was done at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science in Kolkata, India.  A number of different alcohols were oxidized to the corresponding aldehydes and carboxylic acids with good to excellent yields using the new green ruthenium heterogeneous catalyst.  The reactions were done in the green solvent dimethyl carbonate.
