ChEmory is Emory University’s undergraduate chemistry club that has been recognized as both an ACS Outstanding Chapter and an ACS-Certified Green Chapter for multiple years in a row. The mission of our organization is to spread the passion that all of our members have for chemistry and science. Our extremely dedicated officers, members, and faculty advisors team up each year to involve members of the community in educational chemical demonstrations, participate with undergraduate and graduate students at Emory University, and work with the American Chemical society at a local, state and national level. We are actively involved in the Atlanta community with our outreach programs at elementary, middle and high schools. We help to excite students about chemistry in the hopes that we can spark the same passion for science that we carry. We are also involved with Atlanta-wide events, such as the Atlanta Science Festival, to reach as many people as possible. The second Atlanta Science Festival in Spring 2015 drew thousands of people from all over Atlanta, and our organization helped to create a booth explaining polymer chemistry and non-Newtonian fluids. For the Spring 2016 Atlanta Science Festival, we will collaborate with the Carlos Museum to offer a teaching workshop for an exploration of the intersection between chemistry and art conservation. As a club focused primarily on scientific outreach, we pride ourselves on offering students both young and old a glimpse into the not-so-scary world of chemistry. On campus, we train students in chemical demonstrations, help disseminate information about career options in chemistry, and assist with the pursuit of higher education. We work with graduate students to assist with everything from undergraduate research to graduate school application process. Furthermore, with the help of the Chemistry Department, we find speakers to discuss careers outside of the laboratory or academia. We have many goals and missions that we pursue each and every year. We constantly strive to improve our involvement and role in the community as an undergraduate organization at Emory University and in the Atlanta Community.
