Chemistry and Related Biochemistry Opportunities Network (CARBON) club is an ACS affiliated student organization in East Los Angeles College (ELAC). The club participates in community outreach programs, promotes scientific research, provides leadership workshops, and networking experiences amongst STEM peers for ELAC students. The club has attended community events, such as, the Geranium Festival in the City of Monterey Park and the Downey Space Memorial to present science demo to kids and families within the communities to promote chemistry and other sciences that would pique their interest. We are working towards giving students the opportunity to participate in doing research on our campus to enhance their learning and technical experience within chemistry. Leadership workshops are planned for students to become prepared for personal professional development, research applications, and reaching out to universities for career opportunities. We will be providing peer mentoring for students with similar interests and career goals who needed assistance and guidance for their first-year experience of college pursuing STEM. The club provides networking opportunities for students to communicate with STEM students, professors, faculty, and professionals to expand their connections with them. Our club has plans for next year consist of continued leadership workshops, Earth Day events, attending ACS conferences, collaborations with other STEM clubs in ELAC to promote research and STEM-related events, and community events for students.
