Our Chemistry Club recruited student volunteers to sell department T-shirts, club mugs, faculty-developed lab manuals, safety glasses, and practice exams for chemistry courses with the help of the Department of Chemistry. As these sales involved frequent cash transactions, online sales were introduced in the Fall of 2014 in order to manage these transactions more effectively. The revenue generated was given back to our active members in the form of travel and research grants, enabling 12 students to attend ACS national meetings and supporting 2 additional students in their research endeavors. In addition to fundraising activities, significant attempts were made by our club members to engage the ISU community in chemistry-related demonstrations. Building upon the foundations of solid fundraising activities, our club seeks to provide increased opportunites for students to actively volunteer in community outreach events to earn grants while promoting our chapter, ACS, the department, and ISU.
