The Warriors Chemistry Club is an ACS student chapter organization founded at California State University (CSU), Stanislaus. CSU Stanislaus is an institution located in Turlock, California, in an area widely known as the “Central Valley of California.” The primary goal of the Warriors Chemistry Club is to bring students, faculty, and our local community together by increasing their scientific awareness and creating passion in the field of Chemistry. Although the COVID-19 has restricted many of the club’s events, we continue to organize virtual events such as Earth Week, National Chemistry Week, Science Saturday etc.<br/>The shift to a virtual format has been a challenge for the club, however, with the help of determined officers and supportive faculty members, the club has managed to develop creative activities to continue the engagement with club members and the local community. During Earth Week, each club member prepared informative videos on sustainability and preservation of the world and shared the videos on social media platforms. At the beginning of the 2020-2021 academic year, the club hosted “Virtual Potluck” and New Student Orientation (NSO) showcase to recruit more club members and attract more students in the field of Chemistry. During National Chemistry Week, the club incorporated the ACS theme for the year “Sticking with Chemistry” and designed a safe, efficient experiment of making slime. The club displayed the experiment virtually to the club members and local kids. Recently, the club collaborated with the university’s Office of Service Learning and hosted “Science Saturday” event. We demonstrated a safe, at-home experiment of making glue, in regards to the ACS theme for the year “Sticking with Chemistry.”  Aside from the club’s major virtual events, the club hosts virtual tutoring nights two to three times a month. The club also hosts game nights to give students, guests, and faculty a break of course work and a time to bond and establish friendships. The club plans to continue hosting virtual activities and design other creative ideas to keep members, students, faculty, and the community active in the wonderful field of Chemistry.
