Students in the Chemistry & Biochemistry Department are encouraged to join our various student organizations. These clubs provide a valuable opportunity to meet other students, learn more about career opportunities, hear from visiting speakers, participate in service projects on and off campus, and have fun!
American Chemical Society Student Chapter
The objective of this chapter shall be to afford an opportunity for students of a chemistry and biochemistry to become better acquainted, secure the intellectual stimulation that arises from professional association, obtain experience in preparing and presenting technical material before chemical audiences, foster a professional spirit among the members, to instill a professional pride in the chemical sciences, and foster an awareness of the responsibilities and challenges of the modern chemist.
The chapter holds bi-weekly meetings, attends monthly American Chemical Society dinners at various locations to hear industry updates, and meets to discuss job opportunities and career decisions. The group's Bi-Annual Service Project is cleaning a section of Main St. in Glassboro. Bowling trips are also planned for the organization.
