SMACS participate in the 145th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in New Orleans
Nineteen U.T.- Martin student members of the American Chemical Society (SMACS) participated in the 145th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in New Orleans April 7 & 8. They presented three posters at different sessions and a demonstration at the Household Chemicals Demonstrations Exchange besides participating in and/or helping as volunteers with execution of numerous activities.
On Sunday night the chapter received plaques for the Outstanding Rating and for Green Chapter at an Awards Ceremony following which the group made a picture with chair of the ACS Society Committee on Chemical Education Dr. Andy Jorgensen , Manager of the Undergraduate Programs at ACS Nancy Bakowski, the director of the ACS Green Chemistry Institute Dr. David Constable and ACS president-elect Dr. Tom Barton. L to R: Jorgensen. SMACS Chelsea Peeler, Meagan Eason, Amber Watson, Krishna Patel, Krysten Harris, Christy Lee, Priya Patel, Elizabeth DeVlieger, Bakowski, faculty advisor Dr. S. K. Airee, Barton, Constable, SMACS Gilbert Forgays, Chappell Smith, Corey Jones, Ian Garrigan, Saumil Patel, Heather Vacovsky, Eric Staggs, Matthew Roberson, Jomathan Travis, William Crosby and Stephanie Gourley.
Dr. Airee chartered the ACS student chapter at UTM in 1971 and has been a faculty sponsor far longer than any other advisor in the nation. With him as advisor, the chapter has won a record number of Outstanding Ratings and Green Chapter awards amongst 1000+ chapters nationwide.
The following is the list of UTM presentations at the meeting:
