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.
