The American Chemical Society chapter at UMass Lowell aims towards creating the necessary connection between student members and expert faculty members to help the students reach their fullest potential. Twice a month, through interactive events such as faulty presentations, undergraduate research discussions, and social events in the city of Lowell and beyond, we create a dynamic yet welcoming environment to all students who love chemistry. Our chapter encompasses members from across the board including not just chemistry, but also chemical engineering majors, biologists and even students studying the humanities. By expanding the membership to those in other fields, the chapter has achieved greater insight into the potential of interdisciplinary chemistry and its application in a variety of industries. The UMass Lowell chapter connects with various other on-campus clubs including the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and the Undergraduate Society of Science Students. Off-campus, Lowell ACS meets with ACS chapters from neighboring schools such as Northeastern University to hear from expert speakers which have included a Nobel Prize winner, and a formulation chemist from a top cosmetic company. The UMASS Lowell ACS brings students together from a variety of backgrounds to create a collaborative environment that nurtures their passion for chemistry.
