The SMSU ACS student chapter has been working hard to grow our club. This year, we have not only put up posters, but, more importantly, also visited various classrooms the first few weeks of the fall semester in hopes of garnering interest in our club. Our additional efforts have paid off! Current members of our club have majors ranging from philosophy and psychology to chemistry and biology, with many more in between. Our club is an excellent environment for students to grow their interpersonal skills and teamwork, preparing them for future careers, no matter what their field. In addition, the wide range of activities our club is involved in makes us attractive to anyone interested in chemistry, serving the community, or working with kids. Much of our club's efforts are focused on sharing our love of science with the community, especially elementary school students. We do this by bringing our magic show" filled with fire and color reactions to many local schools. Additionally, we enjoy doing hands-on chemistry activities with kids, whether it is in their classroom, on campus, or at our annual "Chemistry at the Y" event. Our club is not all work and no play, though. To provide our members with opportunities to interact socially and learn more about chemistry, we host Program-in-a-Box events, publicize National Chemistry Week and Mole Day, and invite local chemists to speak at club meetings. At the last meeting of each semester, we host an auction using points based on participation throughout the semester. These popular aspects of our club make it a fun environment for everyone. With the many new majors our club membership has branched into, we strive to generate excitement about chemistry not only in the kids we interact with, but also in our new members!
