CSA is an ACS student affiliate chapter, and this poster will describe the events and fundraising methods that have made our club successful. In the fall 2012 semester, we earned our sixth 'Outstanding' ACS Student Chapter Award and recognition as an ACS Green Chemistry Student Chapter. We will be featured in an issue of inChemistry magazine. Effective fundraisers help subsidize events and a yearly trip to the spring National ACS Meeting for eight CSA members. Membership is maintained through engaging bi-monthly general meetings, which include industry and academia guest speakers. Service events include running a �crime scene investigation� lab at a local middle school, a National Chemistry Week museum event (which won an �Outstanding Community Involvement ChemLuminary Award�), and on-campus, demo-based teaching for local schoolchildren. Students and faculty attend social events, including barbecues and broomball. The poster will cover the strategies involved in effectively conducting these events.
