Throughout this century, a collaboration between the German Chemical Society (GDCh)  and the Northeastern Local Section of the American Chemical Society has supported a program in which delegations of chemistry graduate students from Germany have visited research sites and participated in ACS national and regional meetings in the northeastern US interspersed with delegations of chemistry students from the Northeast who have had similar experiences in Europe, including participation in the spring symposia of the GDCh JungChemikerForum at sites throughout Germany. Several measures of the success of this program will be described, including its profound impact on the careers and lives of the delegates. These impacts include participants' continued engagement in the activities of GDCh and ACS, and their contributions to the formation of other international exchange programs for student chemists and young chemistry professionals.
