Mary Virginia Orna, Professor of Chemistry at The College of New
Rochelle, received a B.S. in Chemistry from Chestnut Hill College,
and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Analytical Chemistry from Fordham
University. Her research interests include pigment and dye analysis
of archaelogical artifacts and, in particular, of medieval
manuscripts. She is the author or editor of 14 books(including ACS
Symposium Series volumes) and over a hundred encyclopedia, journal,
and
monograph articles. She is the recipient of numerous awards
including a
Fulbright Fellowship for Israel, the ACS George C. Pimentel Award
in Chemical Education (1999) and the ACS Volunteer Service Award
(2009). In 1990, in
collaboration with John T. Stock of the University of Connecticut,
she began conducting study tours for students as partial
fulfillment of the requirements of a course in the history of
science. These study tours expanded over the years to include adult
learners; they also broadened their scope to include most of the
venues described in this volume.
