Georgia College's ACS Student Chapter is community service oriented, while also emphasizing professional and academic development. A large component of the organization's activities involves engaging students and families in the middle Georgia area in order to show the public how exciting chemistry can be. Some of these activities include peer tutoring on campus, visits to the Georgia War Veterans' Home and several local nursing homes, participating with hands on activities with local K-12 schools via magic show demonstrations, and volunteering as science fair mentors and judges. Through partnership with the Middle Georgia Local Section, the student chapter has been able to successfully coordinate National Chemistry Week-enhancing the community’s knowledge of the sweeter side of chemistry-and Earth Day along with various other events. Professional development workshops are offered to assist the chapter with career choices, résumé writing, and interviewing skills. Beyond all the organization's hard work, the club spends just as much time promoting new friendships among its many members. The organization plans many social activities such as movie nights, trivia nights, cookouts, and bonfires. This poster highlights some aspects of the organization through its accomplishments.
