The stated objective of the Society is "to advance and disseminate knowledge and information concerning the art and science of spectroscopy and other allied sciences." One way our local section supports this objective is to recognize senior researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate students through our awards program. Since 1952 the New York Society for Applied Spectrsocopy has sponsored the the Gold Medal Symposium and Award, currently part of the Eastern Analytical Symposium and Exposition (EAS).
We also present one graduate and up to five undergraduate awards annually. The graduate awardee receives a $500 cash award, a plaque, a one year membership to the SAS, plus expenses to attend the student award dinner and boat cruise. The New York Section Graduate Student Awardee will also be nominated for the National SAS Student Award which is presented at the annual meeting of the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies (FACSS). Each undergraduate awardee will receive a $100 cash award, a plaque, a one year membership to the SAS, plus expenses to attend the student award dinner and boat cruise.
