The Fresno State ACS student affiliate, the CHEM Club, strives to be a well-rounded organization by providing opportunities, diverse awareness, and interaction with professionals. We have collaborated with multiple clubs, local organizations, and neighboring schools to spread science literacy and provide hands on science experience to all students. With the success of our C2S2 seminars, we were able to gather speakers with various backgrounds to encourage students to pursue a degree in chemistry and to show many different applications of a chemistry degree outside of academia. Our Meet Your Professor events were also set up to promote and strengthen interaction between students and professors outside of the classroom. Moreover, we participated in the Communicating Chemistry Cajun Cooking (C4) competition at the ACS New Orleans National Conference which exemplified not only local club participation, but also national level involvement in the ACS. Because of all of this, we have motivated students to join our club and partake in these activities. As a result, our club has grown tremendously and we look forward to having another successful year.
