Roald Hoffmann, a Nobel Prize winner and chemistry professor at Cornell University, visited Upper Dublin High School in Fort Washington on Jan. 25, and met with students, teachers and district administrators.

During his visit, he led a question-and-answer session with science students, and addressed the school's faculty. In 1981, Hoffmann was corecipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Kenichi Fukui for their theories, developed independently, concerning the course of chemical reactions.

Hoffmann's visit was coordinated by chemistry and physics teacher John Joniec and Richard Parkin, recently retired social studies coordinator, who is still involved with part-time projects for the district.

Students and staff from Manor College in Jenkintown spent the morning of Jan. 25 participating in activities to promote the school's Founders' Day celebration.

The event's theme was "Day of Service," and projects included making about 250 containers of chicken soup for Aid for Friends in Philadelphia, writing thank-you cards for U.S. troops stationed in Iraq, and creating Valentine's Day cards for residents at Sunrise Assisted Living in Jenkintown.

In addition, clothing and shoes were collected and will be donated to The Career Wardrobe, a nonprofit organization based in Philadelphia that assists economically disadvantaged women in Southeastern Pennsylvania.
