The Tennessee Tech University (TTU) Student Members chapter conducts a large number of events to teach and inspire interest in chemistry, both on campus and in the community. This year our chapter was proud to participate in our city’s Fall Fun Festival where hands on activities were conducted with hundreds of local children. A full week of activities were planned for National Chemistry Week (NCW), including our community event Rainbow City, a periodic table colorful cookie bake sale, a campus tie dye event, movie night, ACS webinar, green chemistry lecture, and a Mole Day race. The officers and advisors of our chapter worked with the city government to have the mayor proclaim NCW in Cookeville. Our chapter involves a green chemistry aspect by incorporating green demos and information whenever possible. Unique fundraising ideas are created to allow our chapter to pursue outreach and networking at regional and national meetings. Two ACS grants were awarded to our chapter enabling us to start Science Fusion Theater and a new Girl Scout science exploration program. TTU SMACS strives to be active in outreach, fundraising, networking, and professional development, while providing fun experiences to our members that enhance their college experience, provide leadership opportunities, and offer preparation for careers in chemistry.
