The Department of Chemistry and Physics at Delta State University will hold a program and reception naming Dr. Christopher Jurgenson as the first Sullivan-Outlaw Assistant Professor of Biochemistry on Jan. 27 from 1:30-3 p.m.\u00a0in Caylor 201, the upstairs auditorium.<\/p>\n
The professorship was initiated by a $50,000 gift from Dr. Ken Harden ’70, who prior to his retirement was a professor of pharmacology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. Mr. I Dean Spradling ’53 also made a six-figure contribution to help establish the professorship.<\/p>\n
The professorship honors two men \u2014 Dr. Barry Sullivan, a local physician, and Dr. Henry Outlaw, a longtime Delta State professor of chemistry and chair of the Department of Physical Sciences.<\/p>\n
Sullivan, a native of New Albany, moved to Cleveland in 1983 to practice internal medicine. Outlaw, a Delta State graduate, returned as a chemistry faculty member and soon became department chair. He retired in 2003, although he continued to work at the Delta State Foundation office. Both men are now deceased.<\/p>\n
Jurgenson is in his fourth year at Delta State. He received his bachelor’s\u00a0in biochemistry from Indiana University, a master’s\u00a0in physical chemistry from Seton Hall University, and a master’s and doctorate\u00a0in biophysical chemistry from Cornell University. He also did post-doctoral work at Yale University, and previously worked at Merck Pharmaceutical.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
