SIUE Chemistry Club on campus and in the community.

Abstract

The SIUE Chem Club organizes a large number of educational and social events. Educational events include educating the public about the importance of flu shots and setting up many different demonstrations for children in the community. Social events include different parties where the club members are able to mingle with their professors outside of the academic environment. The club is also continuing to support Cougars Volunteering for Science, where members travel to different area schools and do general chem. related demonstrations to educate the children and get them more interested in science. SIUE Chem Club is also setting up the annual Probst lecture, where a world-renowned speaker will come and speak on campus for two days. This year’s speaker will be Dr. Christopher C. Cummins, who has been selected for awards such as the ACS F. Albert Cotton Award in Synthetic Inorg. Chem. and the ACS Award in Pure Chem.
