Our presentation focuses on the various career, outreach, leadership, volunteer, and social opportunities our ACS student chapter provides at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). At a Hispanic-Serving Institution situated in the San Antonio metropolitan region, our ACS chapter enjoys the benefits of a diverse and inclusive community. As a nationally recognized chapter, we are focused on building our members’ potential within the chemical sciences. To do this, we have implemented a number of events to create a successful chapter including: career expositions within the UTSA College of Sciences, hosting student panels from graduate students within and outside the UTSA institution, scientific workshops, volunteering opportunities in the laboratory, bi-weekly meetings, hosting guest speakers from internal and external academic institutions and industries, and team building exercises and outings. Our goal at UTSA is to have a significant impact on the student members of our community, propelling them into successful academic and professional careers.
