* ACS and University of Georgia Partnership

As a part of its five-year partnership with the University of Georgia, the consortium is seeking ACS faculty who would like to spend a semester or year at UGA collaborating with a colleague or working in a laboratory closely related to his or her area of specialization. Are there faculty for whom access to the University laboratories and equipment could be especially helpful in their teaching, research and professional development? Are there faculty interested in partnering with specific UGA faculty who could enhance their skills or help them shape new research initiatives? Faculty interested in pursuing such contacts and arrangements may get in touch with Marcia White at the ACS office at mwhite@collegs.org.
