Habermann Lecture Series
- Mr. Eugene Habermann
- 2024 Lecture
- Previous Habermann Lecturers
Eugene Habermann was born and raised in the city of Milwaukee, not far from ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ. He served in the Army during World War II and then attended ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ under the GI bill, receiving a BS degree in business administration in 1958, while working full-time as a time-study analyst at Briggs & Stratton. Mr. Habermann never married and lived with other members of his family. He was described as a "jovial, pleasant man, with a good sense of humor." A relative, noting his frugality, stated, "He was a sharp investor. It wasn't a hobby for him."
Mr. Habermann admired chemists who were well-trained and knew their art and thus established the Habermann-Pfletschinger Chair in Chemistry at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ in honor of his parents.
The Habermann Lecture series is to perpetuate the memory of Eugene Habermann and to recognize his generosity and support of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ and our chemistry department.
The Department of Chemistry is pleased to announce that the spring 2024 Habermann Lecture, "Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions: A Radical Alternative to SN1 and SN2 Reactions," will be given by on May 3, 2024 at 4 pm in room 121 of the Todd Wehr Chemistry Building.
