The student members at the University of Alabama at Birmingham have a strong commitment to the UAB Chemistry Department, the UAB community, and the City of Birmingham. Within the department, the students sponsor talks and events such as hosting past ACS president Dr. Joseph Francisco and 2000 Helen M. Free Award winner Dr. Al Hazari. Support to the UAB community includes but is not limited to selling ACS study guides for the lower division chemistry courses and safety goggles, and performing chemistry demonstrations at large student body events. Perhaps most importantly are the outreach activities to the greater Birmingham community that include monthly classroom visits to Gwin Elementary School and National Chemistry Week activities at the McWane Science Center. These activities embody our passion for spreading the love of chemistry to the Magic City.
