Award winner

Matthew Yeager, of Aristes, was one of several Lebanon Valley College students and recent graduates who won three first-place and two-second-place awards in October at the prestigious 12th annual Undergraduate Research Symposium in Chemical and Biological Sciences. The conference was sponsored by the National Institutes of Health at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

Yeager, a junior at the Annville college, is pursuing a chemistry degree certified by the American Chemical Society. He won first place in the chemistry division with Allix Marie Sanders, of Cleona, also an ACS chemistry major at LVC, for their paper, "Complexation and Selectivity Studies of Multi-Receptor Bipyridine Oligomeric Host Systems and Their Metallated Cu(II), Ag(I), Pt(II), And Ru(II) Analogues by Liquid-Liquid Extraction, Mass Spectrometry, and Spectroscopic Analyses." Their adviser was Marc Harris, Ph.D., associate professor of chemistry.
