A large number of students attended Ashland University’s “Meet the Accountant Night,” which was held Sept. 8 in the Ridenour Executive Education Center of the Dauch College of Business and Economics. This event has been held on campus for the past five years and is sponsored by Becker Professional Education, Institute for Management accountants (IMA) club and the Career Services Center.

A new analytical method for measuring the release of herbicidal compounds from plant roots has been developed by two Ashland University chemistry professors and this method is generating excitement in science labs around the world.

News of the development has become so widespread, in fact, that Dr. Jeff Weidenhamer, trustees’ distinguished professor of chemistry at Ashland University, spent a week in Berlin, Germany, and six weeks in Australia this summer discussing the new method.

Twelve Ashland University students have been spending their summer this year conducting scientific research at Ashland University. Most of these students have been working side by side with their professors in the laboratories in Ashland University’s Kettering Science Center. Their research has been utilized to explore the areas of biology, toxicology and biochemistry, among other areas of science.
