The international American Chemical Society student chapter at Alexandria University was chartered in late 2014, and it was the first student chapter in Egypt, Africa, and the Middle East. The student chapter aims at improving the awareness of the chemical sciences students and introducing them to the opportunities available for them before and after graduation. The student chapter focuses on seeking opportunities for conducting undergraduate research as well as engaging in chemistry-oriented activities. Our vision is to qualify our members on the personal, technical and professional levels to help them become competitive for the careers they aspire to pursue. To achieve all these goals, we plan and conduct events on and off campus. We also value community outreach, whereby we have had outreach events especially designed for school students to show them the important role that chemistry plays in our lives. The hierarchy of ACS Alexandria University includes a president, vice president, human resources committee officer, scientific committee officer, logistics and organizing committee officer, public relations committee officer and media and marketing committee officer as well as faculty advisor(s) and graduate and undergraduate student advisor(s). Our past events include hosting a Nano chemistry conference at Alexandria University, organizing an orientation day for chemistry undergraduate students, hosting prof. Mostafa Elsayed in our paper club inauguration ceremony, in conjunction with celebrating his Priestly Medal Award as well as maintaining our science café and paper club activities. In addition, we host the ACS Program in a Box regularly. Currently, we are focusing on building a strong team containing younger chemical science students in order to prepare them to take lead in the future and to keep our student chapter as an active and beneficial association that promotes personal and professional development of chemistry students at Alexandria University.
