Since the reactivation of the Wayne State University American Chemical Society-Student Affiliates in September 2011, we have been collaborating with other ACS student chapters, the Detroit Local Section, and our local community. Over the past year, we have organized several outreach events, held a successful Student-Faculty Mixer, and connected with other nearby student chapters during our “Falling for Chemistry” symposium. Our outreach events included STEM day, where we taught students about polymer chemistry using a fun demo, and the United Oaks Elementary Chemistry Day. Additionally, we volunteered at a Halloween-themed Chemistry event at the Cranbrook Institute of Science and Girl Scout Chemistry Day, both organized by the Detroit Local Section. At the same time, we have partnered with the Wayne State University community and Department of Chemistry to promote chemistry and the student chapter by participating in Festifall, demonstrating a hot gravity filtration method to brew coffee, preparing liquid nitrogen ice cream, and organizing several study groups for upper level chemistry classes. Furthermore, we have arranged professional development opportunities for our members that offer insight into careers in chemistry, including tours of the Detroit Institute of Arts Preservation Labs and the International Automotive Plant. The Wayne State University American Chemical Society-Student Affiliates continues to maintain its significant and active role on the Wayne State University campus and in our local community, affirming our commitment to remain a successful student chapter.
