The Saint Francis University Chemistry Club has maintained a high level of student involvement through different social and service events. The Chemistry Club hosts a welcome picnic, wiffleball games, camping trips, holiday gatherings, seminars, and farewell events. Each semester, the club hosts a design competition where members are able to provide ideas for mugs, pint glasses, T-shirts, and more to enhance club visibility on campus. In addition, the club engages in service through the Rural Outreach Chemistry for Kids (R.O.C.K.) program. The R.O.C.K. program has been in operation for 20+ years, annually hosting many chemistry outreach activites reaching over 5000 K-12 students, both on and off campus. The focus of the R.O.C.K. program is to have K-12 students actively involved in chemistry-related activities. To further benefit local K-12 S.T.E.M programs, the Chemistry Club members raised money through a Krispy Kreme fundraiser to start a grant program for local schools. In the fall of 2016, students in the club have began training in professional etiquette and invited professors from various universities to present their research to the students involved in the sciences to expand their knowledge and understanding of the subject of chemistry. The Chemistry Club fosters environmental awareness and the use of green practices both in the lab and in the community.<br/>
