In the Fall of 2013, the Chemistry Club of the University of Detroit Mercy (CCUDM) decided to honor the faculty and staff of our Department in conjunction with our student chapter’s achievement as the longest standing student organization at UDM. It was the 75<sup>th</sup> anniversary of our Club’s founding and we wanted to honor the faculty and staff’s positive contributions to our Club. We also honored the administrative assistant of our Department, Jane Schley, who has served the faculty and students for over 40 years. The CCUDM organized a small dinner party with beverages, hors d’oeuvres and cakes, celebrating both occasions. We unveiled a dedicated sign in front of the Chemistry Building, honoring Club members past, present and future. We also honored Jane Schley by dedicating the new Chemistry Building lobby to her; a plaque was hung to mark the dedication. Our celebration brought her to tears and our Club shared our appreciation for the department and the university. Other student chapters can implement this type of event as recognition of and appreciation for faculty and staff’s efforts to provide a better learning environment for students.

Honoring our professors and faculty: 75 years as a student chapter and 40 years of service from Jane Schley
