This year, the Nittany Chemical Society at the Pennsylvania State University has focused on improving its involvement with faculty and various communities through on-campus and outreach activities. Additionally, the club emphasizes the importance of communicating science and professional development. Throughout the year, NCS has promoted and hosted various poster symposiums where undergraduate students could exercise their presentation skills while networking with fellow students and faculty. Since regulations following the COVID-19 pandemic have lessened, we could also participate in numerous outreach events with several youth communities. Some examples of outreach events we facilitated thus far include performing chemistry demonstrations at the Bellefonte Youth Center, Delta Middle School, and a science Halloween event known as “Haunted University” at Penn State. NCS values education and passion for chemistry to younger generations through fun demonstrations and explanations behind the “magic” of science. Amongst the club’s efforts, we also conducted numerous fundraisers during the year, such as selling Penn State merchandise at football games, selling lab goggles in affiliation with the Penn State Department of Chemistry to students, and designing and selling NCS apparel which all aided to solidify relationships amongst club members and with faculty. We are proud of the leadership initiative the Nittany Chemical Society has taken in establishing its presence in the chemistry community at Penn State and other communities.
