The Sei Sujishi Prize is funded by an endowment established in 1994 by family members and friends of the late Chemistry Professor Sei Sujishi, who taught freshman chemistry effectively for many years. The winner of the award is determined by vote of the faculty involved in the teaching of our general chemistry courses. The award is given each year to the outstanding freshman student; the criteria are the ability, perserverance and magnanimity that characterized Professor Sujishi so well himself.

The Sei Sujishi Prize for the 1995-1996 academic year goes to Mr. Keith Stowell from Farmingville, New York. Keith achieved a truly excellent record in both the CHE 131-132 general chemistry lecture course as well as the CHE 133-134 laboratory course. He upholds well the high standard set by Professor Sujishi during his many years at Stony Brook.

Keith will receive a plaque and a monetary award of $500 during the Undergraduate Recognition Awards for Excellence and Outstanding Achievement, which will take place on April 9, 1997 at 7 P.M. in the Staller Center Recital hall.
