Presidents Message – May 2022

Dear PSCT Members,
Thank you to all who attended in-person and virtually for Smriti Arora’s talk in April about next
generation BYK additives. Thank you to Smriti as well for the presentation. She was happy to share her
slides, so if you would like a copy of the talk please ask anyone from the board.
It is an honor this year to present the Hiram Ball Scholarship award to both Zoe Katres and Isaac Tyger!
More information about the applicants is provided in this newsletter. Congratulations!
For our spring social event we will be at Contemporary Craft in Lawrenceville on May 9 th . Please register
using the Paypal option on the website where you will also be able to pick from two workshop options.
Spaces are limited per workshop so please register soon! No prior creative experience is necessary so
please join us for our last meeting of the PSCT year!
I’d like to thank all of the board members and committee members for their time, assistance, and
experience this year. As I mentioned in my first letter in August, this society would not be possible
without their support! Also, thank you to all of our members who continued to support the society
throughout the past few years while we made adjustments due to the pandemic. You never realize how
valuable face-to-face time is with people until you can’t have it. Hopefully more of us can spend time
together in-person moving forward. Be sure to save the date for the Thursday, September 8 th golf outing
at Birdsfoot!
Julia Baur, PSCT President 2021 – 2022
