PLU Past Award Lecturers

Each year, the students of Phi Lambda Upsilon at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln choose a highly regarded researcher from the field of chemistry as the PLU-sponsored speaker for the Department of Chemistry's annual colloquia schedule. We focus on bringing in a multi-divisional chemist to ensure that their colloquia will be well received amongst Nebraska's chemists and physicists, as well as those from the Lincoln, Nebraska community and other local universities.
