<br/>SHUSAACS prides itself in its’ community outreach: both on the university level and greater Southwestern Connecticut area. At Sacred Heart, the student chapter engages students with activities like Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream, a campus-wide scavenger hunt, Test Tube M&Ms fundraiser, and more. We also partner with other service organizations on campus to educate local middle schoolers about chemistry and also hold a career panel for the club members to discuss majoring in STEM with the students. In our community, the student chapter collaborates with local elementary schools, especially the John Winthrop School in Bridgeport, to perform simple hands on science experiments with elementary school students. The chapter annually participates as judges for the CT-STEM science fair. The club participates in our local ACS section’s mole bowl and is also engaged with our local ACS Section by attending their local monthly meetings which feature speakers on a wide variety of chemistry topics. Monthly, we aim to bring in scientists with a variety of chemistry backgrounds to discuss their research as well as opportunities within their specific field.
