The University of Michigan-Flint is a diverse university populated by many students of different backgrounds and interests, located within an equally diverse community. As a chemistry club committed to getting our peers and neighbors excited about science through relatable scientific demonstrations, it is essential that our club reflect the community it serves. To fulfill this mission, our club builds upon the strength of its members and utilizes the myriad of backgrounds from which they come. Social events attract members by combining enjoyable activities with chemical topics; such as inviting students to de-stress from finals and learn about cosmetic science with a “Create Your Own Spa” Day. By building our club on campus, we are then able to expand into the city and become recurring figures in STEM education and outreach. Many schools in and around the area lack the proper resources to educate students at an early age. The chemistry club is able to stand in the gap and provide not only the gift of hands-on experiences to enhance their knowledge but also the excitement of discovery. The University of Michigan Flint chemistry club boasts having “something for everybody”, and it is this relationship with each other and our community that allows us to be successful.
