<br/>The American Chemical Society University of Utah chapter is dedicated to providing an inspiring STEM environment for the youth in the local community. These values have helped grow a group of 80 University of Utah students with a common goal of aiding the youth in their pursuit of science education. To achieve this goal, our chapter organized multiple chemistry events with organizations around the Salt Lake valley and on campus. These events included bi-monthly chemistry demos at the University of Utah Medical School, after school programs, campus field trips, and tabling events with other student-led organizations. The visual and hands-on experience from the demos help emphasize chemistry theories in a fun, engaging manner. With the help of Covid vaccines, in person interactions became more common but caution still remained. To continue outreach events where in-person interactions were not an option, kits packed with tools to create science experiments were distributed around the area. These kits allowed for chemistry fundamentals to be taught virtually and for our club to continue serving our community. Aside from outreach, a heavy focus was also put on professional development by helping members learn more about research opportunities and the application process of graduate school. ACS also applauds the fantastic work Green Chemistry did on recycling the gloves disposed by the labs. With the hard work of the executive team and our members, ACS is able to expand and engage the young minds towards a path of success.
