Additional information
Bassam Z. Shakhashiri, professor of chemistry at the University of Wiscons in-Mad iso n, was, in 1983, the founding director of the Institute for Chemical Education. From June 1984 through June 1990, he sewed in Washington, DC as Assistant Director of the National Science Foundation for Science and Engineering Education, where he rebuilt education programs that had been essentially zeroed-out in the early 1980s. His efforts set the NSF education budget on a $600 million trajectory for fiscal year 1993—up from about $100 million in 1988.
