Being a part of an organization
outside the classroom can be a valuable and rewarding experience.
Being able to participate in community activities, social events with
those who share similar interests, fundraising, and travel; as well as
having opportunities to lead a committee or plan events are great ways to
develop leadership skills and increases networking opportunities.
The
American Chemical Society
“The American Chemical
Society was founded in 1876 and is a not-for-profit organization. It is
the world’s largest scientific society and has a membership of over
151,000 chemists and chemical engineers. The American Chemical Society
was chartered by a 1937 Act of the U.S. Congress. The Society is
recognized as a world leader in fostering scientific education and
research, and promoting public understanding of science.” --ACS homepage

UA
Science Clubs
Many clubs for undergraduates exit
within the College of Science. These clubs span many disciplines
and can be a wonderful way to explore scientific interests that
compliment your chemistry academics.
All
UA Clubs
UA has a club for just about
every interest imaginable. But if you do not see your particular
interest at the site above, start your own club! Instructions for
how to do so are found at the web site above.
BIO5
(www.bio5.org),
UA's collaborative bioresearch institute, is
in the process of developing an
undergraduate student volunteer club, similar to the ambassador
programs that many colleges
have. The club will help
support BIO5’s mandate by serving as official liaisons for the promotion
of BIO5 to local, regional, statewide and nationwide audiences.
Ambassadors will assist BIO5 in reaching out to stakeholders and
communicating our mission and achievements
(and hopefully have a great time along the way).
