Florida Southern College American Chemical Society is a a successful student organization that constantly strives for excellence at the college and in the community.  We are helping to develop underclassmen chemistry majors through a mentorship program and working with a local elementary school in order to spark younger children's interest in science by doing fun experiments like making silly puddy or showing experiments with different color changes. Furthermore, our chapter strives to develop our members by sending them to chemistry conferences to present research and/or listen to talks given by different researchers. Our chapter also invites scientists from industry to give talks about their research and experiences every semester; this semester a chemist from Florida Chemical, a local flavor producing company, is invited.  In honor of National Chemistry Week's nanotechnology theme this year,  our chapter invited local advanced placement high school chemistry students from surrounding high schools  campus to synthesize silver nanoparticle as well as to attend a Chemistry Lecture Series on nanotechnology.  We will continue to work with surrounding high schools and their advanced placement chemistry students by sharing our facilities at Florida Southern and our passion for Chemistry.
