Derek is responsible for safety and facilities issues in the department of chemistry. His portfolio of duties is large and growing. Most recently, he provided essential help during the Baranger/Hartwig move to UIUC. John Hartwig writes: "In the four institutions I have participated in chemical research, I have never encountered a staff person who was as committed and capable of enabling research through managing facilities issues as Derek Fultz."

Bill is responsible for the smooth and efficient operation of the SCS machine shop, one of the largest on campus.  He is recognized not only for his substantial efforts in running the shop well, but also for his prowess in instrument design and fabrication.  As Rich Masel writes: "Bill does such a wonderful job as shop supervisor.  You can bring him rough plans and he makes the device work.  If it is a rush job he might even do it himself."
