REFERENCES CITED OPTIONAL LOGO HERE OPTIONAL LOGO HERE A decade of mentoring Huntingdon female chemistry and biochemistry majors into full-time academic positions is reviewed with respect to a “jump-start” program. The “jump-start” program at Huntingdon is one in which Huntingdon female chemistry and biochemistry majors are directly recruited as juniors or first-semester seniors from outstanding high schools in the state, advised into the most advanced and intensive curriculum during their first year at Huntingdon, and accelerated in their career with respect to early research participation, publication, and presentation at professional meetings. Some of the goals of the “jump start” program are to increase the number of women in academic chemistry and science positions in the U.S. and to accelerate women’s quest to tenure. Huntingdon College was chartered on February 2, 1854, as "Tuskegee Female College" by the Alabama State Legislature and Governor John A. Winston. In 1872 the name was changed to "Alabama Conference Female College" as it is now affiliated with the Alabama-West Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church. A decision was made in the late 19th century to move the campus to a larger city. The college, renamed the "Woman's College of Alabama" relocated in 1910 to a 58 acre area in the Cloverdale section of Montgomery. The college admitted its first male student in 1934 and changed its name the next year to Huntingdon College in honor of Selina, Countess of Huntingdon, a notable supporter of Methodism in Great Britain. Since its inception, the training of Huntingdon women in the basic sciences has been a key part of a Huntingdon degree. Historically, Huntingdon College has always graduated a large number of women chemistry majors [1]. Today, more than 65% of the 75 chemistry and biochemistry majors at Huntingdon are women [2]. Since 1983, Huntingdon College has hired full-time women Ph.D. faculty in its Department of Chemistry. In 2005, the department added a biochemistry major. Dr. Maureen K.

A decade of mentoring Huntingdon female chemistry and biochemistry majors into full-time academic positions is reviewed with respect to a “jump-start” program. The “jump-start” program at Huntingdon is one in which Huntingdon female chemistry and biochemistry majors are directly recruited as juniors or first-semester seniors from outstanding high schools in the state, advised into the most advanced and intensive curriculum during their first year at Huntingdon, and accelerated in their career with respect to early research participation, publication, and presentation at professional meetings. Some of the goals of the “jump start” program are to increase the number of women in academic chemistry and science positions in the U.S. and to accelerate women’s quest to tenure.
Huntingdon College was chartered on February 2, 1854, as "Tuskegee Female College" by the Alabama State Legislature and Governor John A. Winston. In 1872 the name was changed to "Alabama Conference Female College" as it is now affiliated with the Alabama-West Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church. A decision was made in the late 19th century to move the campus to a larger city. The college, renamed the "Woman's College of Alabama" relocated in 1910 to a 58 acre area in the Cloverdale section of Montgomery.The college admitted its first male student in 1934 and changed its name the next year to Huntingdon College in honor of Selina, Countess of Huntingdon, a notable supporter of Methodism in Great Britain.
Since its inception, the training of Huntingdon women in the basic sciences has been a key part of a Huntingdon degree. Historically,Huntingdon College has always graduated a large number of womenchemistry majors [1]. Today, more than65% of the 75 chemistry and biochemistrymajors at Huntingdon are women [2].
Since 1983, Huntingdon College has hired full-time womenPh.D. faculty in its Department of Chemistry. In 2005, the department added a biochemistry major. Dr. Maureen K. Murphy(Huntingdon Chemistry, Class of 1978) has served as Chair of the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry for the past six years, and is one of three full-time professors of chemistry hired at Huntingdon since 1998.
The most recent annual survey (2009-2010) of chemistry departments [3] reveals that women now comprise 17% of chemistry department faculty amongst the 50 U.S. chemistry departments that spend the most on research.
