The Eckerd College ACS Student Affiliates Chapter may not be home to many members, but the reach of our ambitions stretches far beyond the shores of our waterfront campus. Just last year, four of our members drove to Orlando for the ACS National Meeting and Exposition to present their research projects from the previous summer, and accept our Honorable Mention chapter award. Eckerd’s ACS Student Chapter takes pride in our involvement on campus and in the community. Each year, the chapter puts on a safety glasses fundraiser that requires cooperation and involvement from faculty and dedicated members. We encourage a greater passion for chemistry in our community by sending chapter officers to local grade schools, and participating in the St. Petersburg Science Festival. Every NCW and CCEW, we run a periodic table-themed cupcake sale to promote chemistry on Eckerd’s campus. Our members actively engage our student body through various events, such as Program-In-A-Box webinars, club fair, and small demos. At the end of every academic year, we host a picnic on the beach to celebrate our current Chemistry and Biochemistry majors (especially the seniors!) and help new students decide if either of the majors are the right fit for them. Under the canopy of the James Center for Molecular Sciences, our ACS chapter members live by the same philosophy: strive for excellence every day!
