Last year, the Duquesne University Chapter of the American Chemical Society was awarded the first �Outstanding Chapter� award since the chapter was reactivated more than five years ago. Several improvements were made to our activities and planning from previous years. A preparatory meeting was held before the school year to plan our goals for the upcoming year, and the goals were worked towards throughout the year. One main goal was to develop and implement a successful K-12 demonstration. To achieve this, a demo geared to elementary school students was created and presented in a local school district. The second goal was to improve fundraising. This was achieved by improving Pi Day events and selling modeling kits to general chemistry students, raising nearly $2,000. Through our hard work, 17 student members were able to attend the ACS National Meeting in San Diego- the most our chapter has sent to date.
