Rodney K. Skogerboe Scholarship in Chemistry Endowment
This scholarship was
created by Dr. Glenn Boutilier and his wife Donna to honor Dr. Rodney Skogerboe's
career at Colorado State University and the important impact he had on the lives of his students. Dr.
Skogerboe served as the chairman of the Department of Chemistry for 10 years and
directed the research of 54 Ph.D. students and eight master's students during his 20-year career at CSU. A significant amount of Dr. Skogerboe's work focused on trace analysis of heavy metals in environmental and biological samples. He also served on the Food and Drug Administration Science
Advisory Board, the State Air Pollution Governance Board, and review boards for
the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, and the Environmental
Protection Agency.
The purpose of the fund is to provide scholarships for
graduate students pursuing a degree in chemistry with a concentration in
analytical chemistry within the College of Natural Sciences at Colorado State
University.
