MACRO is a newly created committee that is being supported by both the POLY and PMSE divisions of ACS. Our goal is to grow and develop the polymer community by supporting three distinct initiatives: Curriculum, Professional Development, and Outreach. We provide practical ideas and guidance for adding macromolecular content to undergraduate and graduate curriculum and outreach activities as well as support for developing polymer scientists at every level. We have created a website that features a depository of teaching materials that instructors can drop into existing chemistry courses that includes modules for general and organic chemistry, and instrumental analysis. New modules for physical chemistry and graduate-level courses are forthcoming. There is a depository of polymer-focused outreach materials and an extensive list of external resources. MACRO provides professional development resources as well, currently focused on undergraduate students seeking graduate education. Future professional development resources will target graduate students, postdocs and early career faculty. A two-way interface allows faculty to share what they currently do and request assistance from their peers, thus building a supportive network of and for chemistry educators as they incorporate this exciting new material in their teaching. MACRO invites chemists of all kinds to explore the resources it has to offer and volunteer their expertise at the MACRO symposium that will be held at the Fall 2019 National ACS conference in San Francisco, CA.
