Millikin University awarded ADM Cares Grant for Chemistry Instrumentation

Millikin University has been awarded a $25,000 grant from ADM Cares, the philanthropic arm of ADM, in support of instructional technology developments in the field of chemistry.

Thanks to generous funding from the ADM Cares grant as well as donations from private donors and the James Millikin Foundation, among others, the Millikin University Chemistry Department is able to purchase three state-of-the-art instruments from Agilent Technologies, Inc.—a global analytical instrumentation manufacturing company; these instruments include a mass spectrometer.

“We’re proud to support Millikin University’s Chemistry Department with a donation toward state-of-the-art technology that will help develop future innovators in the field of science,” said ADM Chief Science Officer Todd Werpy. “We’re committed to supporting STEM education in Decatur and around the globe, with the hope of developing a generation of scientists who can work alongside—and one day lead—our own research and development teams as they come up with the next game-changing ideas and groundbreaking solutions.”
