The PLNU ACS Student Chapter encouraged and developed interest in chemistry in the youth of the greater San Diego area by visiting Wilson Middle School, performing interactive chemistry demonstrations, and instructing the students at the middle school on the concepts of chemical and physical changes, chemical properties, and the periodic table.  We also invited the AP Chemistry class from Tri-City Christian High School in Vista, CA to visit our school and to do a chemistry lab experiment with us.  These students also were presented with research information from the student researchers at PLNU and given a tour of our school.  PLNU's Chemistry Club also participated in the 2012 Chem Expo in San Diego by performing exciting chemistry demonstrations in order to cultivate a love for chemistry in the younger generations.  On campus, we hosted a graduate school information night where a panel of PLNU alumni who are currently in graduate programs in chemistry answered questions from our students.  Another way our club promoted chemistry on campus was by hosting our annual mole day party, where we made the periodic table out of cookies, enjoyed games and great food together, and celebrated our love for chemistry.
