Representatives from Honeywell Inc. recently visited Canisius to present Dr. Sheridan and Krit Marohn with a check for $10,000 to sponsor the Chemistry Olympiad.

The funds will be used to offset costs associated with students’ preparation and participation in the Western New York Chapter of the International Chemistry Olympiad. The Chemistry Olympiad is a local, national, and international competition designed to stimulate and promote achievement in high school chemistry. It is sponsored nationally by the American Chemical Society and hosted locally by Canisius University. Honeywell’s Buffalo Research Lab has supported the Western New York Chapter of the International Chemistry Olympiad for more than 20 years and has donated more than $250,000 in support of this initiative since 2002.
