HISTORY OF C&FS, NEW GRANT AWARDS, DANCING WITH NATURE, AND MUCH MORE! IN THIS ISSUE
Welcome Message from C&FS Chair
Welcome to our Spring edition of Chemistry and Forensic Science (C&FS) News! To celebrate our 125th Anniversary at Savannah State University, we lay out a brief history and the rapid growth of our Chemistry and Forensic Science programs, through interviewing one of our senior faculty members, Dr. Olarongbe Olubajo, and one of our earliest graduates, Mrs. Martha Ogden Simmons (alumni spotlight). We also highlight Dr. Marriott’s paintings showcased at the SSU opening exhibition. In addition, you will find in this edition other exciting
updates of our Chemistry and Forensic Science programs, including faculty/student research activities, scholarships, presentations, and more. I invite alumni of both programs to contact us and reach back to your Alma Mater! I hope you will enjoy reading our Spring 2015 newsletter!
During SSU quasquicentennial celebration, Dr. Olarongbe Olubajo takes us down memory lane. Please see below for some of the amazing things he and the C&FS department have accomplished during his tenure here at SSU
Q: As Savannah State University celebrates 125th anniversary, how many years have you served this great institution?
A: I started at then, Savannah State College in the fall of 1992. I will be completing 23 years of service at the end of this academic year. I have
served in higher institutions for more than 30 years.
Q: In what capacity have you served the university over the years?
A: I have served in several positions at SSU. I served as the Acting Chair and Chair of the Department of Chemistry; served pro bono as Coordinator of Chemistry Program when Chemistry was merged with other programs into the Department of Natural Sciences. I also served as Acting Chair of Department of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science and as Acting Assistant Dean of COST.
I have served as the chair of several committees, including the chair of the Search Committee for the Dean of COST, Summer Issue Committee. Some of the Summer Issue Committee’s recommendations are still in effect today, including the $1700 per credit hour pay. I also served as the Faculty NROTC Representative and Faculty Athletics Representative. I also served in the First Senate.

Q: What are the major changes that C&FS department has undergone during your tenure at SSU?
A: There were only 3 faculty members before I joined the department in 1992. As with all USG Institutions, SSC was on quarter system. Most of our courses were 5 quarter hours, 3 hours lecture and 4 hours lab. Our work load was 15 quarter hours, which were 21 contact hours. SSU and other USG Institutions were changed to semester system starting academic year 1998.
I remembered only one instrument was working when I joined the department; a Grating IR instrument. Later we acquired a Perkin Elmer FT‐IR and a UV‐Visible. In 1997 we wrote a proposal to start Polymer Chemistry and the proposal was funded by Title III. The funding enabled us to acquire Varian Mercury 200 MHz NMR, Finnigan GCQ GC/MS and I was able to attend six weeks training in undergraduate Polymer Chemistry Instructions at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, NY.
Under the leadership of the then Chair of the Department, Dr. George N. Williams, we decided to develop a curriculum that met the American Chemical Society (ACS) program approval. With strong support from the Administration, we started acquiring instruments and other requirements for the ACS program approval. For the most part, I was
responsible for the maintenance of these instruments. With funds from the university, we received training and acquired LabWorks system, which allows students to collect data in the lab through probes connected to a laptop. We later wrote a grant, which was funded by DoD for an upgrade to MeasureNet, a network electronic data collection system and also to upgrade our GCQ GC/MS to PolarisQ GC/MS. Our department was one of the first in the state to use computer‐aided data acquisition in General Chemistry Lab. We also upgraded our NMR to JEOL 300 MHz; purchased with funds from Title III, State and Dr. Song’s MBRS‐Score grant.
We hired consultants to assess and evaluate our program to meet the ACS requirements. We presented our Self‐Study to the Committee on Professional Training of ACS in September 2003 and our program was approved in April 2006, retroactive to fall 2005. The importance of ACS Program Approval cannot be overemphasized. It has opened doors for our students to gain admissions into graduate and professional schools in prestigious institutions. Our faculty members have been able to successful obtained non‐training, competitive research grants, such as Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation’s Henry Dreyfus Teacher‐Scholar Award and ACS Petroleum Research Fund‐PRF Grant awarded to Dr. Zhao and NIH‐R03 Grant awarded to Dr. Marriott. I like to take this opportunity to thank the ACS Certification Team who worked tirelessly for the successful program approval; Dr. Adegboye Adeyemo, Prof. Janie Baker, Dr. Jeffrey James, Dr. Zhiyan Song, Dr. George Williams, Dr. Hua Zhao and Mrs. Regina Brockington.
In 2005 the Administration approved the upgrade of Minor in Forensic Science, which was started in 1989, to a full degree program. Funding was provided to hire a new faculty for the development and implementation of new program. Forensic Science Program was approved by the Board of Regents in 2011 and the program was started in fall 2011. No doubt, Forensic Science is the best new program at SSU in the last ten years. I commend Dr. Marriot for the successful development and implementation of the program.
Q: As you know, our students can go anywhere from here. Could you please give us a few students from C&FS department who have gone to be very successful.
A: More than 40% of our graduates in the last 10 years have gone to graduate and professional schools; four of them earned PhD in Chemistry, one Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine and one Pharm. D and several earned MS degrees. There are currently 5 of our students about to finish their PhD in Chemistry and 3 are in Schools of Pharmacy.
There are several of our students, who deserved mentioning, but for the sake of brevity, I will highlight 3 of them and I hope the others will forgive me.
Kelvin Frazier who was my academic advisee is currently a PhD Candidate at Department of Chemistry at MIT. He was already profiled in the first issue of C&FS News.
Dr. Rasheed Lawal was also my academic advisee. He earned his MS in Physiology from University of Louisville, KY and got admission to Michigan State University, where he earned his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. He was a recipient of
Dr. Olarongbe Olubajo, Professor of Chemistry at SSU
CHEMISTRY AND FORENSIC SCIENCE (C&FS) NEWS | Issue 2 3
Margaret Aguwa D.O. Endowed Scholarship in 2011 and also a recipient of Harden Scholarship in 2013 at Michigan State University. He is currently an Emergency Medicine Resident at Michigan State University‐ Garden City Hospital.
The third graduate is Dr. Leon Dyers who transferred from Augusta State University. With our nurturing, he graduated and was admitted to the Graduate School at Clark Atlanta, where he earned his PhD in Chemistry in 2007. He did his postdoc at University of Kentucky and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He was a Research Chemist at Cytec and he is now employed as Senior Research and Development Chemist at PPG Industries
Q: What advise do you have for junior faculty at SSU and other HBCU’s?
A: HBCU is a nurturing environment; therefore faculty must always be there for the students. There are fewer resources at HBCU and as such you must make do with what you have. Teaching is the primary duty for faculty in most HBCU, but must make serious efforts to engage in research, faculty development and grant writing. If you do not engage in research and development, you will
not be current in your knowledge, which will make your teaching obsolete. Technology has made development in teaching and research easier. There are several free webinars in different areas of Chemistry.
Q: What advise do you have for undergraduate students planning to enroll in graduate school?
A: Planning to attend graduate or professional school starts the first semester of matriculation. 3.0 GPA or higher is required for admission to graduate or professional school. The first three semesters have more weight on GPA than the last three semesters. One or two C grades the first semester will require several A grades in the subsequent semesters to be able to bring the GPA up to 3.0. Focus should also be on retaining the knowledge, because the knowledge you gain in your undergraduate courses give you a strong foundation for success in graduate school. As I always tell my students, if you are in my class for the grade only you may not get the grade, but if you are in for the knowledge the grade will come easy and the knowledge stays with you as you embark on graduate studies.
Q: What would you say is the most effective style of teaching (face to face, online, project based /team based learning)?
A: I am old school. I prefer face to face because I like to know my students. Usually, before the midterm, I know the names of all the students in my class, regardless of the class size. I believe if I do not know them, I am in effect treating them just as numbers. In a face to face environment, I can get a sense of who is having the trouble getting the concept even if the student does not talk. I am aware technology is
making face to face obsolete. I embrace technology, but I believe it is our major responsibility at HBCU to nurture our students. Can you nurture without physical presence?
Q: You have taught many chemistry courses. What chemistry course do you enjoy teaching the most and why?
A: I enjoy teaching Organic Chemistry courses; after all that is my area of specialty. I would have liked teaching Principles of Chemistry every semester, but it could not fit into my workload. I only teach Principles of Chemistry during summer. Principles of Chemistry is where you lay a good foundation for students to be successful in higher chemistry courses.
Q: Over the years, you have published numerous scientific papers even though SSU is predominantly a teaching institution. Could you tell us how you were able to balance teaching and research while still being very effective instructor?
A: It is not easy to balance teaching and research and in my own case, also administrative duties in an undergraduate school, where we do not have Teaching Assistants. That means you have to work late hours

One of Marriott’s paintings (“Zoe: Life on Fire”) showcased at the SSU opening exhibition
I started out dabbling just for fun. I needed something different to do outside of my profession as a chemist. If anything is to be fun, there has to be freedom, no limitations, and no time constraints. So, in January 2010, I decided to try painting with acrylic on canvas. I did not know what to paint and I didn’t know how to paint. So, I decided I would try abstract. Abstract eventually evolved into me painting images that represented feelings. In October 2013, I challenged myself with portraits. My very first portrait titled “Hemingway” was a blissful experience, during which I painted energized all night long until morning for four days straight while on Fall break. With that experience, I knew there was no turning back. In January
Dancing with Nature by Dr. Marriott
CHEMISTRY AND FORENSIC SCIENCE (C&FS) NEWS | Issue 2 5
2014, I stepped out into my backyard, I looked up, and I saw images formed by the clouds ……I fell in Love. That initiated my first piece inspired by Nature titled “Heavenly Love”. I am a self‐taught, freehand painter.
“Once you have tasted the taste of sky, you will forever look up” Leonardo Da Vinci.
Ever since then, I have been caught up in a Dance with Nature. My second piece from Nature is titled “Zoe: Life on Fire” (see photo above). I have come to realize that I am in school again, and my teacher is Nature. My classroom is everywhere and my curriculum is everything. I observe birds, insects, trees, flowers, animals, people etc. closely, appreciating everything! I automatically make connections, become curious, and I’m driven to study and learn more about history, philosophy, physics, chemistry, biology, neuroscience, psychology, animal behavior, cultures, spirituality, religion...etc. My studies are relative to my observations. By watching Nature, taking pictures and painting what I see and Love, I am being schooled by Nature. Visual Art fills the gap between words and theories. A whole image is created.
I tune into Nature and I dance. Nothing external exists while I paint, only a natural instinct within. In a dimension where time does not exist, but timing is everything, Nature is my guide, and the dance is a never‐ending spiral. Through close observation we can learn and experience Nature with all our senses and remember what it feels like to be human. Nature reminds me how to be human.
I paint each piece with complete admiration, a labor of love at a very slow pace, trying to capture in detail the beauty I see in Nature. I will never capture perfectly, and that is a part of the beauty. However, I always strive for perfection. The imperfections within my
paintings are like surprise gifts to be perceived differently by all, uniquely mine, and I fall in Love with them as well. The whole process begins, is fueled and ultimately ends with love.
SERIOUSLY IMPRESSIVE!!!

research facilities. We sought help from other institutions to use their research facilities during summer. I spent two summers at Clemson University, which was funded by NSF‐EPSCoR. To be able to publish I collaborated with faculty members at SSU and other institutions. We collaborated with AASU to write a grant proposal and we received the University System of Georgia Board of Regents Global Partnership Award. Two students, one from each institution, were able to participate in research at UN Food and
Agriculture Organization, Geneva, Switzerland during the summer of 2000.
Q: In your view, what does a historically black college provide students that other types of institutions may not provide?
A: HBCUs provide a nurturing environment. Students are given individual attentions and there are institutional supports for students. Students are empowered. The emphasis is nurturing which should not be misconstrued as pampering.
Q: Besides academics, what do you do for fun?
A: I am a news junkie, especially political and science news. I subscribe to online newspapers, magazines, podcasts, and App, such as TEDTalks. When not reading the news, I tend to my garden…

CHEMISTRY AND FORENSIC SCIENCE (C&FS) NEWS Volume 1, Issue 2
As SSU celebrates her 125th birthday, C&FS editorial team take a look at one of C&FS’ earliest graduates who has gone to be a very successful scientist in a company. Mrs. Martha Ogden Simmons graduated from SSU in 1974 with a Cum Laude Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and currently is the Director of Laboratory Services at Herty Advanced Materials Center. In this issue, Mrs. Simmons shares her experiences during her time at SSU and how the legacy and pride of this beautiful campus lives to this day.
What is your current position at Herty Advanced Materials Development Center and what is the job description?
As Director of Laboratory Services, I am responsible for managing all laboratory projects and supervising a staff of eight technicians and chemists. We provide quality control support for Herty’s Pilot Plant operations, and provide contractual analytical services.
What skills and techniques did you learn at SSU that helped you to become successful at Herty?
Upon my arrival at SSU, I quickly learned that if I wanted to be a successful student and graduate on time, I had to develop grit, perseverance, and determination. Even today‐‐the valuable, intangible skills I acquired many years ago at SSU are embedded in my infrastructure. These skills are part of my management style, and are used to manage a successful laboratory at Herty.
What specific laboratory techniques did you learn from taking chemistry courses that you found helpful in your current position?
My ability to methodically analyze a situation is one of many valuable techniques that I use in my current position. Chemistry also taught me to take nothing at face value when it comes to important things. These types of things require research and a thorough investigation before they can be accepted.
What was your favorite chemistry class at Savannah State and why?
Organic chemistry was my favorite chemistry class at Savannah State for two reasons. First, the instructor (Dept. Head at that time), Dr. Willie G. Tucker, had a passion for organic chemistry that successfully motivated most of his chemistry major students. Secondly, organic chemistry was fascinating because it overlaps with many of the other fields of chemistry. It serves as the building frame for all the other sciences
What challenges did you face as an undergraduate student and how did you overcome them to become successful?
Being a first‐generation college student was both frightening and challenging. At SSU, I was very blessed to find a caring atmosphere composed of professors and staff concerned about all students; not just academically but our total well‐being. This caring atmosphere gave me the confidence to know I was not alone. It helped me to believe in myself, knowing that only I could shape my own destiny, write my own vision, and achieve my dreams.
What advice do you have for undergraduate students planning to enter STEM workforce?
The STEM workforce is very competitive. Prepare yourself by committing to a goal and planning ahead. Map out the classes you need; take challenging classes and do your best work in them! This will prepare you for success in your chosen field.
What message do you have for chemistry faculty at HBCU’s?
Continue to believe in your students and challenge them academically. Instill in them grit, perseverance, and ambition.
Would you be willing to visit SSU to motivate our students?
I would be honored to take on this challenge!
Martha Ogden Simmons graduated from SSU in 1974 with a B. S. in Chemistry and graduated with an MBA from GSU in 1990
