The Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society (SAACS) chapter at Washington & Jefferson College (W&J) prides itself on promoting science, community outreach, and professional development. As a student-run organization, we assemble events on campus with the help of our faculty advisor, Dr. Deborah Polvani. Even though the pandemic has affected what our club could accomplish, we made the most of it in 2022. We held community outreach events including our “Science Saturday” in the spring. We participated in our local STEMfest program at the start of this academic year where we assisted over 300 children in making bath bombs. We presented a poster on Earth Day 2022 to our campus community to raise awareness about greenhouse gases. In collaboration with the W&J Society of Physics, last autumn we organized a pi-day “pie a professor” fundraising event to help a local charity organization. We hosted some social events as a club, and we re-invigorated some fundraising ideas. This poster highlights many of our activities from the past year.
