Started by a group of undergraduates in the fall of 2009, the Brandeis University Student Affiliate Chapter of the American Chemical Society provides undergraduates majoring in chemistry (or with a strong interest in chemistry) with opportunities to enhance their experience in the chemistry department outside of the classroom. In addition to offering career development and intra-department social networking opportunities, the chapter aims to provide opportunities for young chemists to bring their knowledge and enthusiasm about chemistry into the local community through outreach activities.The group meets ~monthly. Interested students should contact one of the Chemistry UDRs (Rhea, Dan, or Emily) or Prof. Christine Thomas, or just attend one of our upcoming events listed below.
