The ACS Ouachita Baptist University Student Chapter has been very busy this year helping students with professional development and getting our campus excited for chemistry. Our chapter consistently held chapter meetings on the second Wednesday of every month with the entire club. We held officer meetings the Monday before each full chapter meeting which allowed for consistent updates and involvement. During National Chemistry Week, we did a live tie-dye event where members of the campus community could bring items that they wanted to tie-dye as well as holding an event where students could make their own personal bath bombs. 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 chapter has also organized a LinkedIn and resume workshop where student could come and get help curating their accomplishments for future applications. The OBU ACS chapter actively was involved in community service projects such as the campus-wide service day “Tiger Serve Day” to help elders and parks, as well as a food drive around Thanksgiving, and a toy drive around Christmas.<br/>Following a great fall semester, members worked hard to keep the excitement of ACS going into Spring 2022. OBU ACS organized the third annual Women in STEM conference, expanding the amount of professions represented at the conference. Several members will attend the ACS National Conference and they will present their research. 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 continued with community-driven events, hosting a book drive competition between chemistry classes, with all donations given to a local Children’s Home.
