Our mission is to instill professional pride in the chemical sciences and foster an awareness of the responsibilities and challenges of the modern chemist. Most importantly, we employ our resources to promote chemistry to the community at large. We provide insight into graduate programs and various careers relating to the chemical sciences. Anyone interested in joining please come to Rm 158 Fleming or email us at acs.at.uh@gmail.com
