The A.C.S Chemistry Club at Xavier University of Louisiana does more than conduct chemical experiments and demonstrations. We are a resource to students and the community. Even though Xavier hosts chemistry demonstrations for various events, these demonstrations cater to a variety of audiences ranging from our peers to younger children. Xavier also takes a significant interest in community service by participating in at least two projects each month. Funds from an A.C.S. Community Interactions Grant (CIG) supports weekly student led outreach at local New Orleans High Schools. Through this project, students who previously had no access to a wet lab can experience the wonders of chemistry. Xavier also conducts some fun activities as well. Some of these events include Movie Night, Friday events on the yard, chemistry-themed Game Nights, and other social events. The Chemistry Club at Xavier tries to eliminate the stereotype associated with the title of our organization by thinking beyond the periodic table to engage as many people as possible in the wonders of chemistry. Everyone involved in our organization benefits from the various projects we host. For example, the Dinner Talks where professionals speak on a variety of topics, including dressing for success, the Chemistry of Art for National Chemistry Week, and other chemistry related topics. Our goal as Xavier University of Louisiana’s Chemistry Club is to make chemistry more than just about beakers and chemicals. We strive to impact the community and demonstrate that chemistry-minded individuals still have a great impact on the world.
