The American Chemical Society Student Chapter (ACS Chemistry Club) at Western Kentucky University strives to build community and empower our students to meet global challenges through chemistry. The main goal of this chapter is to connect our students with one another and with the faculty. We engage our students with a wide array of social and outreach events to achieve this goal. Our most recent student-focused activities have included tie-dying T-shirts, making liquid nitrogen ice cream, and making Shrinky Dinks with children in our community as part of Christmas in Kentucky. While faculty join these evening social events, the chapter also hosts coffee hours biweekly to provide opportunities for professors and students to build relationships by meeting and chatting with coffee and pastries. The club believes strongly in professional development and helps network our students with speakers from different chemistry backgrounds through seminars and engagement in research on campus. In support of chemistry education, the Chemistry Club has developed videos for local teachers and participated in the ACS Chemistry Demonstration Filming project. The WKU chapter is recognized annually by the ACS for fostering this community within the Department of Chemistry at Western Kentucky University.
