Chemistry Professor John Papanikolas thought his research project was dead in the water. The high-tech laser he needed to complete his research into alternative energy sources had been damaged in an experiment, and there was no money in his budget to buy a new one. Only through private support by alumni and friends of Carolina Chemistry was Dr. Papanikolas able to purchase a new laser and continue his important research.
Despite budget cuts, Carolina Chemistry continues to provide the best possible education for our undergraduate and graduate students. Each year, private support provides the funding that creates Carolina's margin of excellence.
Private giving is now more critical than ever.
We continue to welcome your gifts to Chemistry, either to our unrestricted fund that provides the Chair the flexibility to apply funding where it is needed most at any given time, or to support our existing fund-raising priorities.
Give to the Chemistry Unrestricted Fund
For more than 50 years, Carolina has benefited from the world-renowned research and teaching of Dr. Royce W. Murray.
To honor his research and tireless devotion as an esteemed educator and scholar, the University has created a Distinguished Professorship in Dr. Murray's name. This professorship will provide a permanent reminder of his dedication, and is a fitting tribute to this accomplished man.
Contributions to this fund will support a Professorship that will be awarded to recruit or retain an exceptional Chemistry faculty member.

Ernest L. Eliel, was one of Carolina Chemistry's most notable and loved faculty members. He had a far-reaching impact on chemistry, science, science policy, and people, and was one of those rare individuals who cared deeply about all aspects of what he did and was able to quietly influence all those things in a positive way.
Contributions to this fund will support top chemistry graduate students.
Give to the Ernest L. Eliel Graduate Fellowship Fund
Richard "Dick" Hiskey was a central figure in Chemistry at UNC from the late 1950s to the mid 1990s. He also served the University and Nation through key advisory committees. He was department Chair from 1970 through 1975, and during this time the enrollment in undergraduate chemistry sky-rocketed. As his colleague, Professor Lee Pedersen recalls, "it was a lovely time to take part in a growing and improving department under the imaginative and aggressive leadership that Dick and his brilliant vice-Chair Royce Murray projected."
Contributions to this fund will support top chemistry graduate students.
