Sigifredo Sanchez-Carrera, a 4th year graduate student in Dr. Jean-Luc Brédas' research group, has just been awarded a CCG Excellence Award for the ACS meeting in Chicago in 2007.

The CCG Excellence Awards were created to stimulate graduate student participation in COMP Division activities (symposia and poster sessions) at ACS National Meetings. Those eligible for a CCG Excellence Award, are graduate students of the Americas in good standing who present work within the COMP program, either in oral or poster format. Winners receive $1,150, as well as a copy of CCG's MOE (Molecular Operating Environment) software with a one-year license. They are also honored during a ceremony at the COMP Division Poster Session.

Congratulations, Sigi!
