Dr. Alaa S. Abd-El-Aziz, President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Prince Edward Island, and professor of chemistry, was recently named a Fellow of the prestigious Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), a professional association in the United Kingdom with the goal of “advancing the chemical sciences.”

Formed in 1980 from the amalgamation of the Chemical Society, the Royal Institute of Chemistry, the Faraday Society, and the Society for Analytical Chemistry, the RSC has a Royal Charter and the dual role of learned society and professional body. The designation “FRSC” is given to a group of elected Fellows of the society who have made major contributions to chemistry and other interface disciplines.
