Salt Lake Community College’s student affiliate chapter of the American Chemical Society
(ACS) won the Outstanding Chapter Award for 2017/2018, the highest
ACS honor bestowed on student chapters. The group was also designated as a
Green Chemistry Chapter and earned the ACS Green Chemistry Award for its
commitment to environmentally-responsible practices and principles.
The Outstanding
Chapter Award recognizes the work undertaken by SLCC chemistry students during
the past year, including raising nearly $18,000 through service projects for
six local charities, visiting 14 elementary schools to provide hands-on
chemical demonstrations and presenting undergraduate research at the ACS
National Meeting in New Orleans and participated in the Chem Demo Exchange.
