Saint Vincent College Chemistry Club is an ACS student chapter that participates in numerous events nationwide, while also facilitating activities at the college. Every year there are many fundraisers that the club holds in preparation for the national ACS meeting. These fundraisers often include both sales and campus participation events such as goggles, t-shirt and lab coat sales, voting to dye a professor’s hair, and partnering with the Biology Club to raise money through other on-campus activities. All of these fundraisers allow our seniors to attend the ACS conference to present their senior research. At the end of October, the chemistry club will participate in national chemistry week activities at the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh. Club members will guide kids and families through a fun and engaging experiment that focuses on this year’s theme, Marvelous Metals! For Christmas, the club will host an event where students and faculty can compete by forming teams and decorating a hood in the organic lab by hanging up lights and making trees with flasks, clamps, and ornaments. One new and exciting event will be Chemistry Family Feud; we will be surveying students for different questions, then we will have teams of chemistry professors compete by trying to match what the students answered at a fun evening event. Next spring, the club will be going to several different middle schools and high schools in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, to do chemistry demonstrations and answer any questions about college chemistry. The aim of the chemistry club at Saint Vincent College is to encourage students of all ages to get involved in chemistry, allow the college students to present their research at a national conference, to facilitate interactions between different science majors and graduation years, and to get future scientists interested in chemistry through educational activities.
