We are thrilled to invite you to a special Boise State Student-Alumni Mixer! 

This event is being held in conjunction with the American Chemical Society's 2026 Northwest Regional Meeting (NORM 2026), taking place in Boise (June 28th – July 1st).

Whether you are attending NORM 2026 or live locally, this mixer is a fantastic opportunity to expand your professional network and celebrate our scientific community. You will have the chance to connect with fellow Boise State Chemistry, Biomolecular Sciences (BMOL), and Material Science & Engineering alumni, current students, and emeriti faculty.

We are also deeply honored to announce very special guests who will be attending our mixer:

• Dr. M. Stanley Whittingham: Key figure in the development of lithium-ion batteries, for which he was awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Learn more about his groundbreaking achievements here.
• Dr. Helen Blackwell: Pioneered the design of synthetic chemical tools to intercept and modulate bacterial quorum sensing, creating new "languages" that are revolutionizing our ability to control microbial behavior and combat infectious disease. Learn more about her achievements here.
• Dr. Yury Gogotsi: Co-discovered MXenes, highly conductive, versatile 2D nanomaterials that are revolutionizing ultra-fast energy storage and advanced electronics. Learn more about his achievements here.
• Dr. Mary (Nora) Disis: Co-discovered HER2 as a tumor biomarker and pioneered the development of targeted cancer vaccines, establishing a new paradigm in immunotherapy that trains the immune system to intercept, treat, and prevent aggressive solid tumors. Learn more about her achievements here.

Don't miss this incredible opportunity to meet and mingle with these distinguished scientific leaders alongside your fellow Broncos!

Taco bar and refreshments will be provided. Drinks at the bar are available for purchase. The first 50 attendees will receive a free drink ticket.
