Stang-Burrows-Sessler Lectureship
Peter Stang | Cynthia Burrows | Jonathan Sessler |
The Stang-Burrows-Sessler Lectureship was established by Jonathan L. Sessler, PhD, Roland J. Pettit Centennial Chair in Chemistry at the University of Texas, Austin. Prof. Sessler created the new lectureship to recognize his long-time friends and colleagues Distinguished Professors Peter Stang and Cynthia Burrows, two remarkable researchers in the Chemistry Department.
The lecture provides a significant new educational and research opportunity for the Department’s students, engaging them with pioneering science from around the United States and the world. The Stang-Burrows-Sessler Lectureship will host leading voices in non-traditional areas of organic chemistry for many years to come.
