The ACS Chapter of the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras Campus, fulfilled our objectives for the International Year of Chemistry by sharing our passion for chemistry with others. We are able to increase the public's appreciation and understanding of chemistry and its role in meeting the world's needs. We encouraged young minds to have an interest in chemistry and generated enthusiasm for the creative future of chemistry. This Presentation will share our activities for the IYC 2011, including our traditional �Festival de Qu�mica� for each quarter's theme: Environment, Energy, Materials, and Health. Furthermore, our chapter was part of the hosting committee for the 43rd IUPAC World Chemistry Congress was held for the first time in Puerto Rico. We were able to enjoy and make the IYC ours, both accomplishing our goals and fulfilling the vision of our organization.
