Campus Honors Program identifies 2004 Chancellor’s Scholars

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – One hundred and forty freshmen and sophomores at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have been designated Chancellor’s Scholars in the Campus Honors Program this fall.

Chosen for their academic excellence and leadership potential, they include (EDITORS: See list).

The Campus Honors Program is a four-year general studies program open to undergraduates in any curriculum. It admits only 125 freshmen each year, selected from approximately 6,000 entering the university. A few additional students join the program at the beginning of the sophomore year.

Chancellor’s Scholars participate in small-enrollment honors classes and seminars. Close student-faculty interaction is also fostered by a mentor system, a lecture series on topics of general interest, dress-rehearsal visits to Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, and international programming. Other benefits include summer research and travel grants.

Study finds that individual layers of synthetic materials can collaborate for greater impact

Millions of years of evolution have enabled some marine animals to grow complex protective shells composed of multiple layers that work together to dissipate physical stress. In a new study, engineers have found a way to mimic the behavior of this type of layered material, such as seashell nacre, by programming individual layers of synthetic material to work collaboratively under stress. The new material design is poised to enhance energy-absorbing systems such as wearable bandages and car bumpers with multistage responses that adapt to collision severity.
