Chemistry Student Group Wins 20th Straight National Award

This marks the 20^th straight year the ASU chapter has received a year-end award from the national ACS. Less than half of the more than 450 student chapters in the U.S. received a Commendable or higher award for 2023-24.

For its Commendable Award, the ASU chapter was recognized for its participation in chemistry outreach activities, attendance at national meetings, and fundraising and social events. Chapter members annually take part in Earth Day and National Chemistry Week activities. They also conduct a campus speaker program, have regular fundraising events, and frequently include local and area high school students in their activities. Members also present their research at various organizational meetings, including the national ACS and Texas Academy of Science.

The ASU chapter and other award-winning chapters were honored at the ACS National Meeting and Exposition this spring in San Diego. A list of the award-winning chapters was also published in Chemical & Engineering News and the inChemistry student magazine.
