The Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society (SAACS) is an on-campus student-led organization that helps undergraduate students at California State University Long Beach (CSULB) reach their educational and career goals in the chemical sciences. SAACS offers diverse seminar speakers, academic and industry tours, community service events, academic workshops, and outreach opportunities for our members to gain hands-on experience in all areas of the chemical sciences.<br/><br/>Our main strategy, as officers, is to fully utilize the summer to plan a successful and productive academic year. Our diverse officers gain valuable leadership experience in a collaborative environment, in addition to their participation in extracurricular activities. This year we have improved overall efficiency and communication by employing technology into our club planning and organization. SAACS has been able to increase student membership, offer more opportunities for members to stay involved, and maintain an effective organizational system.
