I’m back!

Sorry about the lack of posts the last few days. I was in charge of planning the Chemistry Club’s trip to Sacramento for the ACS Regional Meeting there, which happened somewhat last minute Thursday and Friday. We only had the opportunity to attend the undergraduate day, and found some of the presentations very enlightening (as with the green chemistry seminar given by University of Oregon’s James Hutchison) and some of them not so enlightening (my lips are sealed).

Overall, a very short trip, but something fun and different to do with the Chemistry Club, which has not done much in past years. As a new officer this year, I have worked with the rest of the officers to conjure up new goals to tackle in order to gather the interest of undergraduates vis-à-vis Chemistry and involve current Chemistry majors more so than in the past. I believe this trip to be an excellent first start in that direction. Our next step will include some fundraising in order to give us the financial freedom to envision even larger goals (Scholarship, National ACS Meeting trip, et cetera).
