The Stauffer Lecture and Symposium
The John Stauffer Distinguished Lecture in the Sciences was endowed in 1976 by the John Stauffer Charitable Foundation. The distinguished lecture series was established to give us the opportunity to host outstanding lecturers and celebrate excellent science. In 2001, the Chemistry Department augmented the lecture by a symposium that celebrates the science of our honored guest.
