Student Chapter of The American Chemical Society

The Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society Chapter are strongly committed to the celebration and promotion of chemistry education on campus and in the community through various events including lectures, fieldtrips and the celebration of National Chemistry Week each November. They also take part in an annual “Chemistry Magic Show” at local elementary and middle schools. Other outreach activities include food and toiletry drives each fall. The Student Affiliates are also striving to become a “Green” chapter, focusing on ways to make chemical products and processes safer for human beings and the environment. The club is not strictly for students who major or minor in chemistry, but is open for anyone who is interested in learning more about the field. Anne Marteel-Parrish, assistant professor of chemistry, serves as faculty advisor.
