The University of Arizona Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society aims to promote community passion for chemistry and provide professional growth to members. The chapter incorporates an invitational speaker series into meetings so guests from academia and industry can present research, networking opportunities, and insight for life after undergraduate studies. The speaker series and its Household Hazardous Waste volunteer program, in which members sort and collect environmentally harmful waste, highlight the chapter's �green chemistry� efforts. Additional chapter outreach includes course tutoring, aiding the University's recruitment process, and performing bi-annual Chemistry Magic Shows for local children and adults. Chapter members have presented at ACS National Meetings and were proud recipients of the Outstanding Chapter Award and the Green Chemistry Award for the 2008-2009, 2009-2010, and 2010-2011 school years. Chapter members also regularly enjoy social events, such as bowling, barbecues, dessert outings, and the SAACS Fiesta at the semester's end.
