Otterbein University is a comprehensive master’s university with a history in the liberal arts in Westerville, Ohio. Of the 3,000 undergraduate students, 100 are chemistry and biochemistry majors. The student chapter of the ACS has 20 members from both the chemistry and biochemistry departments as well as from the zoo science department. While on campus involvement is important, our chapter excels at off campus events. Developing a relationship with the Columbus Local Section of the ACS has allowed students to network and build their professional skills. Utilizing table space at festivals in Uptown Westerville has allowed for outreach activities with the general public, facilitating the promotion of chemistry off campus. Finally, the student chapter has utilized campus resources to better understand the role of science in politics by traveling to the March for Science in Washington D.C.
