Subject:      Industrial Sponsors Group - Public Perception

The Industrial Sponsors Group of the ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry has announced the 1994 awardees in its program to improve the public's perception of polymers.  A grant of $10,000, to be paid over a three year period, has
been made to "The Science Alliance", a Delaware group which is dedicated to providing
resources and training to science educators in the Delaware area.  The grant is to further the understanding of polymers in modern society science kits to schools. 

This is the fourth annual grant awarded by the Industrial Sponsors group, made up of nearly 40 companies which support the educational and public outreach activities of the Polymer Chemistry Division.  Previous awardees were
Linda Woodward of the University of Southeast Louisiana and Marie Sherman of Ursaline Academy in St.JLouis for the development of a series of polymer workshops, to deliver polymer information to every science teacher in every school
in the state, every week, and J.JMakanski and T.JCoolbaugh for the development of a polymer lifetime workshop.
