Knights of the Periodic Table is a ChE Contribution to Iowa State's VEISHEA

Kendall Fosse

Kendall Fosse is a recent graduate from Iowa State University. While there he was involved in a number of clubs such as ACLU@ISU, the Society for Chemistry Undergraduate Majors and an armature ultimate Frisbee club. Kendall spent a co-op with Cadbury Adams in Rockford IL making chewing gum like Stride, Trident, Dentine and Bubblicious brand gums. If you want to know what makes Stride so ridiculously long lasting, Kendall can tell you about this and a number of projects he worked on at Rockford. Since then, Kendall has been looking to get his start in Industry, and make an impact on the chemical engineering world.

Iowa State University like any other large college loves its parties, but one takes special significance. VEISHEA is one of the largest student organized events in the country and has been celebrated for the last 88 years. For at least 30 of those years (as far back as our records go) the chemistry club at ISU has contributed to the festivities with a short chemistry demonstration. Over the years it has evolved into a production with action and romance, chemistry and comedy, explosions and empirical formulas. Last year there were three showings all to a full house of about 300 people. I would like to offer you all in the ChEnected community to take part in the fun. It is with great pride I present the Society for Chemistry Undergraduate Major's VEISHEA 2009 production "The Knights of the Periodic Table"

Agreed. His Oscar must have gotten lost in the mail.
