The FSC Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society was started in 1999, and has been involved with several other clubs that are part of the Student Government Association.

Our mission is to increase awareness of chemistry, to conduct outreach programs, and to provide a social setting for students interested in the sciences.

During National Chemistry Week, students from FSC travel to area elementary schools, children’s museums, and the mall to demonstrate and share the annual chemistry theme.

As part of our community outreach program, we collect Thanksgiving food baskets and Christmas presents for underprivileged families

In April of 2002, 11 ACS students joined Dr. Gauthier at the National ACS meeting in Orlando.

We also co-hosted this year’s Chemathon, a chemistry competition for high school students.

We have many events planned for this year’s National Chemistry Week, and also plan to attend a national ACS meeting.

We are looking forward to meeting you this fall.  For more information, please contact Houda Darwiche (President) at hdarwiche@flsouthern.edu or Carmen V. Gauthier (faculty advisor) at cgauthier@flsouthern.edu
