President Katherine Saravia&#8217;s primary goals for the Chapter are to increase student engagement and provide more opportunities for professional growth and development. Annual Social Events include a Back-to-School Make Your Own Ice Cream Social, Oozing Pumpkins, Thanksgiving Potluck, a Game\/Trivia Event and Senior Appreciation Tea. The Chapter also focuses on meeting with invited seminar speakers to discuss career goals along with outreach events to the local community. Last year the Chapter conducted hands on experiments at the Montclair School District STEM festival that over 200 K-5 students attended. The Chapter is a consistently active part of Chemistry and Biochemistry Department and the surrounding Montclair Community.<\/p><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span class=\"prpl-button\"><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkacs.org\/Indicator\/2024_March\/2024_March_Issue_of_The_Indicator.pdf#page=29\" target=\"_blank\">Read the Full Article<span class=\"a11y-label\"> in the March 2024 issue of The Indicator<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Student Chapter of the American Chemical Society earned a Commendable Award for the Academic Year 2022-2023<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":207087,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-207069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-students-alumni"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chemistry-biochemistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207069","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chemistry-biochemistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chemistry-biochemistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chemistry-biochemistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chemistry-biochemistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=207069"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chemistry-biochemistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207069\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":207091,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chemistry-biochemistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207069\/revisions\/207091"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chemistry-biochemistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/207087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chemistry-biochemistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=207069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chemistry-biochemistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=207069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chemistry-biochemistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=207069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
