Community engagement, service, and establishing peer-to-peer relationships are among many of the aspirations of the American Chemical Society Student Chapter of Idaho State University (ISU). The student chapter endeavors to enhance the public’s perceptions and understanding of chemical sciences by, in past years, traveling to local schools and public libraries throughout the year to perform hands-on activities and demonstrations. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of our outreach events have moved to a virtual format to ensure the safety of our membership and the local community. We were able to do our annual Chemistry Magic Show held during National Chemistry Week, using a virtual format. Our chapter provides many opportunities to establish and develop lasting relationships between peers and mentors. Prior to the pandemic, these opportunities include rafting, hiking, camping, obstacle course racing, and skiing trips. Lately, we have been hosting virtual game nights to allow our members to socialize and continue to nourish relationships that are key to the chemistry community at ISU. Despite many of the obstacles that limit in-person social interaction, the ISU Chemistry club is dedicated to promoting science and chemical education in the community of southeast Idaho.
