UST American Chemical Society Nationally Recognized
10/4/2010
 The University of St. Thomas American Chemical Society (ACS) Chapter has been an active part of the Houston community and will soon be nationally recognized for their efforts.
Based on their exemplary community service, fundraising, career events, and regional and national meeting experiences, the National ACS has awarded them an “Outstanding” status, the highest ranking within the society.
Less than 4 percent of the 980 chapters in the United States and Puerto Rico have received this ranking. The chapter will be listed in an upcoming issue of Chemical and Engineering News, the Society’s official news magazine, as well as featured in the February/March 2011 edition of In Chemistry magazine, the ACS student magazine. The chapter has received an award every year since 2000 and has achieved the highest ranking award four out of the last five years.
The chapter has been invited to present a poster at the 241st National Meeting and Exposition being held in Anaheim, CA on March 27-31 and will be honored at a ceremony on March 27.
Chapter members have provided countless volunteer hours at events such as the National Chemistry Week and Earth Day festivities at the Children’s Museum and at the Education Rainbow Challenge Event. In addition to off-campus volunteering, they have been active at the UST Science and Mathematics Summer Institute for incoming freshmen. They are involved in undergraduate research and annually attend the Spring ACS National Meeting.
