Student Service
The chemistry department and faculty provide a variety of avenues for students to join in the community of chemists. Every fall at the start of the semester the chemistry department sponsors a pizza social that permits new and returning students to interact with each other and faculty. At the end of each semester there is a social-food event that students can share with faculty. Also at the end of the spring semester there is an event to honor graduating students. The Chemistry Club sponsors several events and meetings for students interested in chemistry as a major or career. Students have an opportunity to interact with each other and work cooperatively on projects.
Professional opportunities for students are offered by chemistry faculty and the chemistry club. Both promote the involvement of students in professional events such as National Chemistry Day and American Chemical Society undergraduate research conferences and poster presentations at American Chemical Society meetings.
