After a 45-year successful career at UConn, Professor Bill Bailey retired at the beginning of this academic year. Alas, retiring is the wrong word: Bill merely stepped away from active teaching. He will still be found in the building (when anyone can be found in the building again). We certainly will also see continued scholarly work being published by him.

Bill’s research is in the realms of organolithium chemistry methodology, mechanisms, and conformational analyses. His dedication and creativity as an educator and mentor extraordinaire is to be celebrated.

Please join us in thanking and congratulating Bill!
