The UTPB Student Affiliate of the ACS is mainly focused on community outreach, as well as getting the public involved in activities that promote chemistry. In addition to having a positive and visible presence on the campus through the active participation in university-sponsored events (such as the Halloween Carnival, the Big Event, Falcon Days…), as well as on-campus fundraisers (bake sales, date with a book…), our community outreach activities include volunteering our time and energy at the regional science fair as judges for elementary and middle school science projects. Students volunteer in elementary schools throughout the Permian Basin, bringing chemistry demonstrations to kids as a way of showing them an accessible way into science, as well as emphasizing the importance of safety when dealing with science. Overall, the Student Chapter focuses its energies into promoting the field of chemistry in the Permian Basin community.
