Chemist. Researcher. Entrepreneur. Benefactor. Catalyst. Mother. Grandmother.<\/p>\n

Marilyn Shull Black \u201969 has taken on many roles since her undergraduate days at Mary Washington, but it\u2019s the last two that have had the greatest influence on her career.<\/p>\n

\"Professor
Professor Emeritus Bernard L. Mahoney, Jr. and Marilyn Shull Black \u201969<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cI love children, and I love being a mother and grandmother,\u201d Black said. \u201cI\u2019ve spent all my career in chemical and environmental sciences \u2013 specifically, measuring indoor air quality and its impact on children\u2019s health.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said the environmental exposure to contaminants from the air is highest in children because they breathe faster and have less body weight. High doses of such contaminants can negatively impact brain development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe more I learned about contaminants, environmental exposure, and their connection to children\u2019s health,\u201d Black said, \u201cthe harder I worked to find solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that diligence shows. Black has held numerous research positions, including with Aerospace Medical Research Laboratories, Harvard School of Public Health, and Environmental Research and Technology. She founded Air Quality Sciences Inc. (AQS), which rapidly became the leading testing and research company focused on reducing chemical and biological indoor air pollution.<\/p>\n

In 2001, she went a step farther. She founded the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute, a worldwide nonprofit, voluntary product certification program that works with more than 600 manufacturers. Today, she is vice president and senior technical advisor for Underwriter Laboratories.<\/p>\n

Marilyn Shull Black \u201969 in The Battlefield yearbook during her Mary Washington days.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When she reflects back on her days at Mary Washington, she pictures herself in a chemistry class in Combs Hall listening to an enthusiastic professor with a funny, Bostonian accent. The accent was especially noticeable to Black, a girl from Rock Hill, S.C.<\/p>\n

But it was more than the professor\u2019s dropped r\u2019s that caught her attention.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Mahoney had an outgoing personality; he was engaging, and he showed me I could actually solve problems,\u201d Black said. \u201cHis passion for chemistry was the spark that ignited my future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Distinguished Professor of Chemistry Bernard L. Mahoney Jr. served at Mary Washington for more than 35 years. He earned emeritus status in 2002 and still lives in Fredericksburg. After working with Mahoney on her honors thesis \u2013 and being granted access to an atomic absorption spectrometer to measure the relationship between trace metals in children\u2019s blood and their health impact \u2013 Black decided to pursue a career in medical research.<\/p>\n

This newly illuminated path led to a master\u2019s degree from the University of Florida and a Ph.D. in chemistry from Georgia Tech.<\/p>\n

To show gratitude for Mahoney\u2019s positive influence on her education, career, and quality of life, Black recently made a significant gift to establish the Bernard L. Mahoney Jr. Student Research Fellowship in Science. This endowment will offer assistance to UMW students majoring in a natural or physical science discipline. Selected students can receive stipends and support for essential research equipment and supplies, and\/or attendance at approved conferences. At the conclusion of each Mahoney Fellowship, students will submit a summary report and showcase the final results.<\/p>\n

Black\u2019s gift came through the Khaos Foundation, an Atlanta-based nonprofit she founded and named in reference to the mythological goddess of air. \u201cI hope the new endowment in honor of Mahoney will serve as a catalyst to spark passion in others,\u201d Black said, adding that her dream is for these students to \u201cfind real solutions that make a difference in our society.”<\/p>\n
