The Nathaniel D. McLaughlin Chair in Science
was established by the Class of ’38 on the occasion of their 60th reunion to celebrate and support exceptional teaching of science in the tradition of Nate McLaughlin, physics and chemistry teacher. The chair is awarded to a teacher whose dedication to his or her students and subject is extraordinary and whose compelling teaching creates in boys a thirst for further scientific exploration and education.
Chair holder Elizabeth Spector has been teaching kindergarten through fourth grade science at US since 1996. Ms. Spector initiated the New Faculty Orientation, Family Science Night, and Environmental and Earth Day Projects. She is a past recipient of the William F. Seelbach ’40 Memorial Faculty Fellowship, the Barry Family International Fellowship, and the Alumni Faculty Fellowship, which were used to study and travel to the Peruvian rainforest, southern Africa, and British Columbia. She received her B.S. from Cornell University and her master's degree from Kent State University.
