Professor Timothy Gregg of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is the recipient of the 94th Jacob F. Schoellkopf Medal. The Schoellkopf Medal is presented by the Western New York local section of the American Chemical Society in honor of chemical industry entrepreneur Jacob F. Schoellkopf, founder of National Aniline Works. It is the oldest ACS local section award. Tim was selected for this honor “in recognition of his outstanding dedication to teaching and mentoring and his selfless service to the Western New York Section of the American Chemical Society.” The society presented Gregg with the award at a dinner banquet at the Hotel at the Lafayette in Buffalo on Wednesday, Oct. 16.
During his time at Canisius, Tim has taught the sophomore Organic Chemistry I and II courses, Intermediate Organic Chemistry, Seminar, and Spectrometric Analysis, among others. He has also mentored more than 25 chemistry and biochemistry majors in his research lab. Several of these students have been co-authors on research publications with Tim and have since completed doctorates in organic chemistry or are practicing MDs. Tim has served in numerous roles in the WNY ACS. He has been the editor of the WNY ACS newsletter, the Double Bond, since 2005, served on the Undergraduate Research Symposium Committee since its inception, hosted the event at Canisius three times, and has served on the Schoellkopf Medal nominating committee a record number of times.
Tim joins the company of other Schoellkopf Medal recipients from the Canisius faculty, Prof. Ray Anino (1983) and Prof. Joseph Bieron ’59 (1993), and Canisius chemistry alumni Thomas Dougherty ’57 (1998), David Nalewajek ’74 (2003) and David Hangauer ’74 (2021).
