Forensic sciences is one of the most well-known programs in our campus. As promoters of chemistry we created the forensic chemistry division of ACS Inter Ponce, in order to enhance the impact of applied chemistry in our community. We are in a constant reaction to make stronger structures to help us promote understanding of chemistry even though our campus does not have a major in chemistry. We are committed to combine chemical methods and techniques of research for the development of exciting and applied experiences. We have conducted demonstrations to public and private schools applying forensic chemistry. In addition, several activities on and off campus were developed. Those activities include strategies for professional growth and community services. Professional growth activities include organized workshops, forensic science conferences and participation in the Puerto Rico Forensic Institute Annual Symposia. Our commitment to the mission and vision of our Institution is shown through our participation in the Open House, promoting our forensic science program. We serve our community in various ways such as; participation in activities of charitable organizations and in the recollection of toys for Operation Christmas child boxes. As future forensic scientists, we are developing skills through chemistry to become scientific citizens and promote excellent career opportunities.
