The ACS student chapter at Western Washington University (WWU) has been in operation since 1969. The goals of our chapter include: 1) create a fun and engaged learning community, 2) serve as a resource for students in various stages of their careers, and 3) serve as ambassadors for chemistry in our community. Activities such as the annual chemistry department picnic or bowling vs. biology bring students and faculty together in social settings. Informational seminars, tours to local industries, conference travel, GRE study groups, Scholar's Day, and other events help students gain practical knowledge in the chemical fields. Community outreach efforts include mentoring elementary school science fair students, food drives, Wizards at Western, and Girl Scout science badge program. The main fundraising events include T-shirt and beaker mug sales. Activities organized by the ACS student chapter at WWU have made a significant impact on the department, college, and surrounding community.
