Roger Williams University Student Affiliates began the academic year with a school-wide exhibition of homemade liquid nitrogen ice cream to garner student interest in the chemical sciences. As part the group's effort to promote Green Chemistry, we hosted Dr. Al Snyder who presented a lecture on the importance of environmental regulation and correct waste disposal. Additionally the affiliates produced a week long display opened to the campus community to educate students on sources of renewable energy. A trip to Pfizer's main facility in Groton, CT was organized both as an opportunity for professional development among ACS affiliates and to view their green initiatives. Our community involvement included the affiliate's efforts to introduce the importance of chemistry to high school students via in-class demonstrations focusing on Green Chemistry. The chapter hosted distinguished chemist, Prof. Bradley Smith, as part of our Distinguished Lecture Series
