On May 1, 2018, on the New York City campus, Dyson
College hosted the first ever Dyson Science Day, an
opportunity for science alumni to reconnect with faculty
and fellow alumni and learn about the exciting research
happening in Dyson College. More than 40 students
presented their work, and many of their faculty mentors
were in attendance, along with four retired science faculty
members, Acting Dean Richard Schlesinger, and Pace
University President Marvin Krislov. Dr. Charles Gombar
'74, Chemistry, deputy director, strategy and product
development for the HIV program at the Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation, and a member of the Dyson Advisory
Board, delivered the keynote address.
One attendee, Wendy Ng '75, Chemistry, was so
inspired that along with her husband, she provided a
financial gift to fund a summer 2018 student/faculty
research project. "It was a fortuitous thing," says Ng.
"I think of it as paying it back. Research experience is
especially important for students who stay in science."
