CHIPOLA CHEM STUDENTS TOUR UWF LAB
PENSACOLA—Chipola College students in Dr. Jocelyn Wahlgren’s Organic
Chemistry class recently toured the Chemistry Labs at the University of West
Florida in Pensacola.
Dr. Wahlgren, who is a UWF alumna, afforded her students an opportunity
to analyze their products with some of the university’s more than 20 pieces of
instrumentation used for detailed chemical analysis. Throughout the course of
the semester, Dr Wahlgren’s students had completed a number of experiments
including hydrogenation, nitration, oxidation, esterification, and Diehls Alder
reactions. Each student was able to analyze a sample of one of their
products through Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
(NMR). This process allowed students to see how consistent their products
were with theoretical expectations.
Dr. Wahlgren’s students also had a chance to meet with UWF students who
were actively involved in research and expressed great interest in the analyses.
UWF Department of Chemistry Chair Mike Huggins commented that even UWF students
do not often get a chance to utilize the instruments that Dr. Wahlgren’s
students were able to use.

LIBERTY
TRUMPETER AWARDED CRAA SCHOLARSHIP
MARIANNA-- The Chipola Regional Arts Association (CRAA) has awarded a
$1,500 scholarship to Christian “Alex” Hanks, a trumpet player from Liberty
County High School
CRAA has awarded more than $45,000 in scholarships to music, art, and
theatre students who attend Chipola. The CRAA scholarship rotates each year
through the five-county district. Dr. Daniel Powell, Chipola Director of
Fine and Performing Arts, says, “This year was Liberty County’s turn and the
applicants were outstanding. Alex is an excellent player and is sure to be
a great asset to the Fine and Performing Arts department.
In the ten year period before the formation of the Liberty Arts Council
in 2003, there were only three declared art, music, and/or theatre majors from
Liberty County. Since the formation of this local arts agency, Chipola has
always had a declared art, music, and/or theatre major from Liberty county, with
a 50% increase in the last three years. Powell says, “This is a powerful
testament to the strength of arts advocacy and the belief that you can make a
difference in the arts.”
Chipola College recognizes the importance of the arts and is committed to
helping students with their arts education. During the last five years,
$8,000 of fine and performing arts scholarship monies have helped students from
Liberty County. This figure does not include outside awards and awards
given to non-majors who participate in arts programs. Currently, over 25% of
students in the programs are not music, art, and theatre majors.
To increase accessibility in the arts, Chipola is committed to providing
high quality and low cost performing arts events in the new Center for the Arts.
With the support of the community in the APPLAUSE! fundraising campaign, Powell
says, “We can provide many more years of excellence in the arts in a wonderful,
state-of-the-art facility.”
