Manygraduates enlist in serviceorganizations such as thePeace Corps, Americorpsor the BenedictineVolunteer Corps. Othersprovide medical anddental services tounderserved areas. A fewof our alumni haveembraced a differentvariation on this value,deciding instead to servetheir country through anassociation with themilitary.It is easy to forget thatthe success of a militaryorganization depends onan array of supplies andsupport structures.

ToMattson, the energy shederives from working withother dentists at PortHueneme Dental Clinicand the high level ofcamaraderie among hercoworkers are favoriteaspects of her job.After graduating fromCSB, Mattson worked fora year as a quality controlchemist at apharmaceutical company.She then enrolled in dentalschool at CreightonUniversity and wasawarded a tuitionreimbursement throughthe Navy's HealthProfessions ScholarshipProgram.

Like other backstage jobs,it's a lot of pressure."Working backstage during ashow is like a choreographeddance," said Paul. "There are alot of moving pieces, and a lot ofthings can go wrong. Every nightis different, and it takes somepractice to realize what works andwhat doesn't work."David Crotteau plays Captain Wentworth in CSB SJU Theater Department's productionof Jane Austen's Persuasion by Melissa Leilani Larson. Photo by Ken Cartwright.Three chemistry and biochemistrystudents took part in a CSB SJUTheater Department production thissemester. The play, Persuasion, is avery recent adaptation by MelissaLeilani Larson from the originalJane Austen novel. Set in Somerset,England, during the Regency era,the show featured romance, comedy,dancing and period costumes."It's the story of young AnneElliot who turned down the love ofher life eight years prior, thinkingshe was living up to her familyduty," explained Jenny Paul, Bchm'17. Paul was an assistant stagemanager for the show. "Anne5quickly realizes what a mistakeshe has made, and when the pairmeet again, she seeks to win himback."Paul did backstage work in highschool, including set-constructionand moving scenery; by senioryear she was a tech leader. Shepreviously worked with CSB SJUTheater as an assistant stagemanager for Bad Seed last fall.Grandgenett was also involved intheater in high school, playing thepiano in the pit orchestra forGrease, Lil' Abner and LesMiserables.

TheAFRL operates a numberof laboratories across thecountry dedicated tomeeting the technicalneeds of the USAF.Although his research areawas still in materials forenergy storage, Welna'sfocus shifted to the designof electrodes forlightweight batteries.Welna spent four yearsat AFRL, then became afederal civil servant at theNASA Glenn ResearchCenter in Ohio, where heworked on thedevelopment of batteriesfor the current and nexthuman space explorationprograms."I was lucky to workwith batteries that arecurrently up at theInternational SpaceStation, astronaut EVAsuits (for Extra-VehicularActivity, or spacewalk),and in the Mars Landers,"said Welna. He also didresearch and developmentinto next generationbattery chemistries forpossible use on Mars orother deep space journeys.Personal factors,including familyconsiderations and adesire to move to a newresearch area, broughtWelna back to the AirForce. As an R&D taskand project manager, heworks very independentlywhile also supervising ateam. He also spendsmuch of his time inmeetings, whether they arescheduled or informalproblem-solving sessions,as well as communicatingvia e-mail. Interfacingwith some of the leadersof the organization hasbeen one of the mosteducational aspects of thejob, giving him a newperspective on how thingswork. About once amonth he needs to travel,usually to Washington,DC, in order to interactwith counterparts in othergovernment agencies.Welna does get timefor activities outside ofwork, including theoccasional triathlon orhalf marathon. He lovesto travel, and apart fromDC his favoritedestinations includeplaces with lots of historyor good beaches. Aboveall, though, his favoritething to do is hang outaround the fire in thebackyard with family andfriends. That relaxation iswell-deserved, andprobably moreappreciated because of asense of professionalfulfillment."I see my job asimportant to a veryspecific group of people:the men and women inthe military who put theirlives at risk every day forthis country," saidWelna.Graham Inspires Students With Challenge and Commitment(continued from page 1)experiences at theNational Institutes ofHealth in Bethesda, MD,motivated her to learnmore chemistry. Sheobtained a Ph.D. fromCornell University on a6National Defense Scienceand Engineering GraduateFellowship, working in thelab of crystallographer andnatural products chemistJon Clardy. She came toCSB/SJU directly aftergraduate school.The Cavendish ChronicleSpring 2014
645Student Finds Fun inHelping CommunityAusten Classic Draws Chemists(continued from page 5) Crotteauhad not been involved in theaterbefore."I was astonished that I wasselected for the cast, let alone alead role," he said. He confessedthat he had auditioned on a darefrom Erin Wissler, Chem '14.He claims to have had anenormous amount of help fromthe cast, but his inexperiencewent largely unnoticed."I didn't even realize that he hadnever acted before until the lastmonth of rehearsals," said Paul.The production was the result ofan enormous amount of work.Practices started in February, andwere usually three or four times aweek for three hours at atime. The cast would readthrough the whole show, withactors practicing their Englishaccents. In March, stagemanagers started coordinating andrecording the actor's movementson stage. Meanwhile, periodcostumes were designed andmade entirely from scratch.Technical rehearsals began at theend of March, so the cast and crewbegan practicing together, andadditional crew members werebrought in, including Grandgenett.The final week started with two 12hour days of rehearsal, andcontinued with 6 to 8 hourrehearsals every night until openingnight. Because the show was solarge, it was crucial to have a lot ofpractice.Although Grandgenett and Paulare thinking about graduate schooland research after college, theymay keep up their involvement inthe arts for a while. "I enjoyedmeeting new friends and being partof theater again," said Grandgenett.For the time being, Crotteau hasperformed his last play. He is anofficer candidate in the UnitedStates Marine Corps; he will beworking to earn his commission inthe Fall with a contract to fly as apilot. After that, his dream is tobecome an astronaut. It's a longshot, but we already know he canaccomplish the impossible.Later this summer, Mattson willbe relocating to another clinic inLemoore, CA; the US Navyrelocates dentists every two orthree years. Assignments can beon a ship, overseas, with the7"The kids and other tutors at BelClare really make it fun", saidGalan.

So far, Mattson isundecided about her plans after hernext assignment. Some dentistsremain with the Navy for twentyyears or more, whereas othersdecide to move into private practiceafter their initial commitment.Either way, Mattson's associationwith the military has played a keyrole in her education and herpersonal development.The chemistry club has had anactive year. Organizers started theyear with a "meet the profs" pizzaparty. They later held a chemistrybingo event, complete with liquidnitrogen ice cream, as well as aChemistry jeopardy party. The firstChem Prom was a highlight of theyear. An end-of-the-year pizzaevent is planned for study day.The Cavendish ChronicleSpring 2014
