Robert C. Olsen Fund

Alumni grateful for Dr. Robert C. Olsens’s inspiring teaching established the Robert C. Olsen Chemistry Fund in 1974. Income from the fund supports summer undergraduate research students for ten week projects. Many papers have been presented and articles published reporting results obtained with this support. Dr. Olsen joined Dr. Ramstad on the faculty in 1947, taught full-time until 1973 and part time until 1976.
