The University of Tennessee at Martin chapter of SMACS received a grant from the Society Committee on Chemical Education to host the undergraduate program of the 66<sup>th</sup> Southeastern Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society (SERMACS) meeting at Nashville from October 16-19. The program included 344 research papers (out of a total of 1,110) presented by undergraduates, an eminent scientist lecture by Dr. Albert L.Wiley, of Oak Ridge, on Medical Preparedness and Response to Nuclear Power Plant Accidents, a “Chemagic” show by Dr. Al Hazari of UT Knoxville, “Demomania” presentations by SMACS from five universities, including one by UTM SMACS, a networking luncheon and the College Chemistry Bowl. Eleven universities from a five-state area competed in the bowl patterned after the former “The G. E. College Bowl” television show. Concord University in West Virginia won the championship, the University of Alabama at Birmingham was the first runner-up, with Fisk University and Tennessee Technological University as second runners- up. Recognition plaques, trophies, and SERMACS undergraduate program T-shirts were presented by UTM SMACS to winners, judges and oral sessions emcees. Fourteen SMACS spent about two hundred man-hours getting ready and executing this project.
