Abstract:
The Saint Anselm College Chemistry Club gives students with an interest in chemistry a way to interact within the community, expand their knowledge base, and
collaborate with colleagues. The Chapter serves the local community in several ways. The College hosts the NH State Science Olympiad Competition and the Chapter
was an integral part of planning and execution of the event. In addition, scientific demonstrations are performed in K-12 classrooms, for faculty’s children, and for
students visiting the campus. The ACS Program-in-a-Box and weekly webinars provides our group opportunities to engage in scholarly discussion. The Saint Anselm
Chemistry Club offers a means of networking within our faculty, with student organizations with similar interests, and with the larger chemistry community. The club
discusses current scientific discoveries and research with faculty at our campus pub, regularly invites the entire community to its events, and attends conferences. This
chapter hopes to continue to encourage an interest in science in the broader community and facilitate a professional conversation about chemistry on our campus.
