The Catawba College American Chemical Society Student Affiliate Chapter, located in Salisbury, NC, has been actively involved in increasing the awareness of chemistry at the college and in our surrounding community. Catawba's ACS chapter hosts events which include: chemistry demonstrations, seminars, Catawba-Palooza, and National Chemistry Week. ACS members also attended and presented research at conferences outside of Catawba, such as the 2007 North Carolina Academy of Science Conference, 2006 ACS National Meeting in Atlanta, GA, and the 2007 Pittcon Conference in Chicago, IL. In the community, we have sponsored demonstrations and other laboratory activities for local elementary, middle, and high school students. Our poster will focus on Catawba's ACS chapter and its involvement in and around our local area.
