The Chemistry Student Association of the Inter American University Metropolitan Campus decided to make every effort to follow the Green Chemistry Principles in the protection of the environment and the education of the university community. Giving the offices a continuous follow up in the recycling of paper, the energy conservation by turning the lights off when leaving a classroom, reduction in the use of water, and the use of the recycling bins in the corridors were accomplished. Each academic department was judged separately every month. Joining all the science student associations, the bottle caps mural was developed.Mol Day was celebrated with the Brownie's Periodic Table. National Chemistry Week impacted a community on a Sunday afternoon in the Chemistry Festival, with demonstrations and providing information related to chemistry in health.  Academically, the Chemistry Olympiads were celebrated among the General and Organic Chemistry students. Conference enriched the knowledge, related in the topic of chemistry.Several schools were visited and demonstrations were performed, to increase the enthusiasm of more students to study science for a better world.  The local ACS Senior Technical Meeting of Puerto Rico Section was attended, and the students participated in the Green Fashion Show. We proved that Chemistry is fun, important in our daily life, and would make a great profession.
