- Carolina's first African-American chemist honored with lecture fund
Jim Magaw '89, Carolina Connections, Fall 2003 Slayton Evans blazed a path from segregated Meridian, Miss., to Chapel Hill, where he taught and mentored scores of chemists as they began their own journeys as scientists and scholars. A number of former colleagues and students are honoring Evans, Kenan professor of chemistry who died in 2001, and his legacy of excellence in teaching, research and service by establishing a lecture fund in his name in the Department of Chemistry.

- Forging links with Polish scientists
The University Alumni Report, October 1994, pages 9-10 Evans, 51, visited Poland this summer as a member of an eight-member delegation of scientists on behalf of the National Science Foundation in Washington, D.C. They established new contacts with leading Polish scientists, became familiar with Poland's research and educational practices, identified areas of mutual interest and assessed the strengths and weaknesses of several universities and institutes. The team's findings were later detailed in a report to the NSF. "The institute setting in Poland brings together a collection of scientists with narrowly focused objectives, not unlike institutes found in U.S. universities," Evans said from his Kenan Lab office.
