2018 Project Seed
 Project Seed provides opportunities for students who historically lack exposure to scientific careers by allowing them to spend a summer conducting hands-on research with a scientist in academic, industry, and government research laboratories. Students receive a fellowship award and a chance to receive a Project SEED college scholarship. The 2018 program began on June 12 and will culminate in a poster session and celebration. This year, we have 12 research fellows, with 3 returning, and 12 mentors including new mentors Dr. Andrew Barron, Dr. Venkata Pavan Raja Manuri, Dr. Dan Villalanti and Joy Cocchiara. The complete list can be found here. Friday, August 3 | 6:30-10 pm Scanlan Room, Jerabeck Athletic Center University of St Thomas 4000 Mount Vernon Street Houston, TX 77006 Upcoming events

Shaping Future Chemists
ACS-GHS is sponsoring a series of outreach events in which Senior Chemists share their work experiences with high school and university students. The first was held at O’Connell College Preparatory School in Galveston where Beverly and Stan Curtice spoke to 40 students who were so surprised to learn the number of different things you can do as a chemist. We have more requests from schools than we have volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering, email acs-ghs@acs-ghs.org for more details.
