The Temple University Chemical Society’s two main goals are to mentor young Philadelphia students and to provide undergraduates with career development opportunities. Most of our community service events aim to give children in the area a hands-on learning experience from older students. We hope to spark their interest in the sciences by showing them how cool it is and solidify their understanding of basic chemistry topics. We also provide undergraduates with exposure to careers in research and industry. Such opportunities include Scientists in Training and Lunch and Labs, both events that connect students with faculty members to help them learn about research going on at Temple and opportunities for them to get involved in research. Other events like resume workshops and meetings with guest speakers from industry aid students by teaching them about life in industry and their opportunities to get involved in industry.
