While some things still are not completely back to normal, the Ouachita Baptist University (OBU) ACS student chapter worked to ensure that students can still learn all the great things chemistry has to offer! This academic year, OBU ACS met the second Wednesday of each month with officer/executive council meetings occurring the Monday before. This allowed for consistent updates and involvement of all members. During National Chemistry week, students were able to take part in a demonstration and a live, more involved, demonstration was held in the student center. A mole hunt for a chance to win prizes was also held throughout the week, educating those who might not know what a mole is. The OBU ACS chapter actively was involved in community service projects such as the campus-wide community service day “Tiger Serve Day”, as well as a food drive around Thanksgiving and a toy drive around Christmas.<br/><br/>Coming off a great fall semester, members worked hard to keep the excitement of ACS going into Spring 2022. OBU ACS held the second annual Women in STEM conference, allowing undergraduate women in science to explore all options post-graduation. In the spirit of Valentine's Day, we hosted a “Love and Chemistry” night for all the members of our chapter where they could hang out, study, and watch a few movies. We then attended the ACS National Conference and had members present their research. The OBU ACS chapter continued with community-driven events, hosting a book drive competition between chemistry classes, with all donations given to a local Children’s Home, and helping judge regional middle school science fairs.
