The James Flack Norris Award for Outstanding
Achievement in the Teaching of Chemistry pays tribute to
outstanding contributions to the field of chemical education.
The Award consists of a $3,000 prize and a certificate. The
presentation takes place at an Award Ceremony and dinner
in November, followed by a formal address by the Awardee.
The Award, the first national award for outstanding achievement in the teaching
of chemistry, was established in 1950 by the Northeastern Section of the
American Chemical Society to honor the memory of James Flack Norris, Professor
of Chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a teacher
of great repute. For more information, please see the Brief History of the
Norris Award.
The first award was made in 1951 to Professor George Shannon Forbes, an outstanding
teacher at Harvard and, in retirement, at Northeastern University. Past awardees
are given in the list of Norris Award recipients.
