Otterbein University is a private university located in Westerville, Ohio. There are around 3,000 undergraduate students, with approximately 100 students majoring in Chemistry and Biochemistry & Molecular Biology. The ACS student chapter on campus has nearly doubled in number in the past academic year with 18 members. The chapter engages in both social and professional activities, including outreach activities in the community. Attending local ACS meetings is a staple for the chapter, and students are encouraged to network with industry and academic professionals. The chapter frequently engages with the public during events such as Homecoming and festivals in Uptown Westerville. The chapter also involves Otterbein students in campus wide activities with events such as Slime Fest 2016. At this event the chapter filled a kiddie pool with oobleck and encouraged students to take a jog across it. The chapter is looking to expand its reaches into the community and to get more children involved with chemistry through outreach activities.
