Mosher Award

About

The Harry and Carol Mosher Award award was established in 1980 by our Section to

• recognize and encourage outstanding work in chemistry
• advance chemistry as a profession
• recognize service to ACS

The award is named for the late Dr. Harry S. Mosher of Stanford University and Carol W. Mosher of the Stanford Research Institute International in Menlo Park, husband and wife, charter members and long-time supporters of this ACS Local Section.

The award consists of an engraved plaque and a check for $2000.

The first scientists to receive this award were Drs. Harry and Carol Mosher themselves in recognition of the inspiration of their example. The committee noted that the Moshers, including a brother, Dr. William A. Mosher, also a chemist and former Chairman of the Department of Chemistry at University of Delaware, are outstanding examples of the qualities to be recognized and honored by this award.
