Our chapter has had an exceedingly busy year, and after attending the Spring 2014 national meeting, we have implemented new recruiting methods, community service programs, and outreach activities and programs. We were integral in the implementation of the pilot program, Imagine: Your STEM Future, for the Girl Scouts targeting middle and high school girls, encouraging them to follow a STEM pathway. Additionally, we have developed a new outreach program that emphasizes the applications of chemistry in forensic science. Furthermore, we hold campus wide events, promoting creative expression through science. An example of such an event is our tie-dye day, where we provided free tee-shirts to college students and families and taught them about the chemistry of the coloration process. We are continuing to expand our club and are excited to exchange ideas with other student chapters.
