Distinguished Professor Robert W. Parry was a giant in our profession. In his 60-year career, Bob taught thousands of undergrads and mentored over 60 Ph.D. students and postdocs. Together with Henry Eyring and Cheves Walling, Bob played a key role in the growth and development of chemistry at Utah.
To celebrate Bob’s life and career, the Department has endowed the Robert W. Parry Lectureship in Chemistry. The Parry Lectureship will invite eminent inorganic chemists to present their cutting edge research to our students and faculty at an annual event that honors Bob’s memory. Professor Harry Gray of Caltech will give the inaugural Robert W. Parry Lecture on April 12, 2016. Thank you to those who made the Parry Lectureship possible:
