The Duquesne ACS chapter has a total of 86 active members. To increase excitement within the chapter, a new 7-12th grade demonstration and explanation was designed using hydrogen rockets. Additionally, a human whack-a-mole game was implemented on mole day to promote faculty-student relations. Most importantly, the Executive Board and the Chapter Advisors planned PuRSUE: Pittsburgh Regional Seminars For Undergraduate Excellence. The seminar series furthers cooperation between undergraduates in the Pittsburgh area (9 Chapters in the Pittsburgh Region) and provides the opportunity to present research in a friendly but more formal environment. Finally, the Duquesne Chapter is forming connections with local high schools. With Miss Karen Runitch, the Duquesne Student Members helped to organize an ACS ChemClub at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart High School in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania. This ChemClub is active in research with Duquesne faculty and ACS Chapter activities.
