"Elements of Success" Periodic Table

The "Elements of Success" Periodic Table is housed outside of the Robert C. Nelson (1966) and Maryann S. Shellstrom classroom, dedicated on October 4, 2002. One of our goals is to have all 118 elements on the Periodic Table awarded to donors who give gifts of $1,000 or more to the Chemistry program. We invite you to select an element and have your name permanently associated with that element on the Periodic Table which occupies the wall outside our new Chemistry Seminar Room.
