Balch Symposium

Balch Symposium

After 56 years of service in the UC Davis Chemistry department, Prof Alan Balch is retiring. To celebrate the longest tenured professor serving in the UC system, we, the organizing committee, are organizing a symposium in his honor. Please join us in celebrating his illustrious career on November 14th, 2025 in the multi-purpose room, on the 2nd floor of the UC Davis Student Community Center. We plan to have a day of lectures highlighting Prof. Balch’s contribution to science and education, followed by dinner. Please follow the link below to RSVP and receive more updates; more details will soon follow. We hope to see you in November! Please do not hesitate to contact a member of the organizing committee should you have any questions, comments, and/or suggestions.
