As one of the most active clubs on campus, the EOU ACS Student Chapter participates in many school activities, community outreach programs and professional engagements.  This year many of our activities incorporated themes from IYC.  The tenth annual �Girls in Science�, a day where sixth to eighth grade girls use experimental techniques to solve a mystery, highlighted how chemistry plays a role in detecting disease.  Club members also organized a Saturday Science program for minorities funded through an ACS IYC grant where students conducted activities tied to the four IYC themes in a fun interactive manner. Other events that promoted science in the community included chemistry magic shows, and various water studies with youth from La Grande area elementary and middle schools made possible by an IYC grant from the Division of Analytical Chemistry.  Nineteen student members attended the ACS national meeting in San Diego, CA to present research in various fields of chemistry and receive an outstanding award for activities conducted in the previous year.  The trip was made possible through funding from ACS national, the local Richland Section, EOU Senate, and club fundraisers.
