The EOU Chemistry Club has a long tradition of excellence in chemistry at the national level. This past year the club made strides in its professional development, outreach, and sense of community. For the 13th year in a row, the club received an ‘Outstanding’ award for activities held in 2021. In addition, the club helped organize the 2021 virtual ‘Girls in Science’ which was recognized with a ChemLuminary Award to the Richland Local Section for the top ‘Outstanding Public Outreach Event Organized by a Student Group’. The club also provided multiple professional development opportunities for its members. We organized talks from a clinical chemist, an inorganic chemist, and attended events in conjunction with the ACS Richland Local Section. Thirteen of our members attended the ACS Spring national meeting in San Diego where they presented research posters, a club poster and participated in networking events. The club was very active in reaching out to the community, having a booth at the local farmers market, and educating and showing how hand sanitizer is made during the 2022 ‘Girls in Science’. Our club members also helped build a sense of community within the chemistry department with events such as the EOU Chemistry-Biochemistry research recruitment fair.
