DECA, a non-traditional charter high school singularly focused on preparing first-generation urban students to go to college, is located on the 3rd floor of the College Park Center, at the intersection of Stewart and Brown Sts, at the University of Dayton. Visitors must park in a marked "Visitor" spot. You can obtain a parking pass from Parking Services, located on the first floor of College Park Center.
Originally established by Charles A. Thomas and Carroll A. Hochwalt, former Dayton chemists and Monsanto researchers, the top chemistry students in the area have been recognized under the auspices of the Dayton Section since 1943. In 1990, the family of the late Austin M. Patterson, also a prominent Dayton chemist, assumed sponsorship. All area high school students are invited to take an examination and the highest scoring applicants are then invited to write essays, which form the basis of the final judging. (These finalists, although only two from any one school, are also invited to take the Chemistry Olympiad Exam.) In addition, teachers of the prizewinners receive awards, and the top scoring student from each high school is awarded a plaque. Grading is performed separately for those students who have only taken one year of chemistry. Students from this group with the highest scorers in their High School will also receive a plaque. The top three essayists are awarded first, second, and third prizes of $1000, $750, and $500, respectively.

[▼ Expand/shrink description Results of the 2012 Electronic Section Elections
In our first electronic (although still uncontested) election, Dr. Leanne Petry was elected Chair-Elect with
45 votes, and Prof. Rachel Aga was elected Treasurer with 42 votes. About twice as many votes were
cast as last year. Congratulations to our newly elected officers! Ms. Lori Balster succeeds to Chair and
Prof. Suzanne Seleem to Immediate Past Chair. Dr. Wayne Cook starts his second and final year in his
term as Secretary, while Dr. Steve Trohalaki and Dr. Rachel Jakubiak start their third and final years in
their terms as Councilor and Alternate Councilor, respectively. The Section owes a debt of thanks to our
outgoing officers — Prof. Vladimir Benin and Dr. Chris Tabor — for their selfless service. The alter egos of
the 2013 Dayton Section Board of Directors and our outgoing officers are pictured below.
Job Openings
Part Time Adjunct Instructor: The School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Indiana University East,
located in Richmond, IN (5 miles from the Ohio state line on I-70), has an
opening for a part-time adjunct instructor to teach a lab section for
General Chemistry II on Monday evenings at 5:30 - 8:30 pm, subject to
enrolment and financial constraints. Further openings are possible for this
spring as well as future semesters. The adjunct instructor must have a MS
(or equivalent) or above in an xperimental science (chemistry or
biochemistry strongly preferred; ABDs will be considered equivalent). Those interested should send a CV to Dr. Yu Kay Law at lawy@iue.edu.
Part Time Faculty: The Natural Sciences Department at Central State University is looking to hire a part-time faculty to teach General Chemistry I & II with Lab for a total of 12 contract hours. Appointment starts August 15, 2012. Minimum requirement: MS in Chemistry. If you are interested please contact Dr. Suzanne Seleem 937-376-6689 or 937-414-0951.

The Dayton Section
The beginnings of the Dayton Section date back to 1929. The first official Chair of the Section was Dr. C.A. Thomas, who served from 1931-1932. Our current membership exceeds 450, covering the counties of Montgomery, Greene, Miami, Clarke, Preble, and Darke. Section meetings, featuring national and local speakers, are held monthly (except during the summer) and include a local poster session. In addition, our last meeting of the year honors our 50-year members.
If you find errors on our website or would like see information for Chemists in the Dayton area added, please contact us.
