Our Story
The American Chemical Society (ACS), one of the world’s largest scientific organizations, boasts over 200,000 members globally. In the U.S., the ACS is represented by 185 local chapters, facilitating connections among chemists and chemical engineers; the organization reaches over 140 countries.
In 2022, the second ACS International Student Chapter in Canada was established at Queen’s University! The Chapter fosters community and provides members with valuable opportunities. Looking ahead, the Chapter aspires to achieve accolades such as the Alma Mater Society’s “Club of the Year” award and recognition as an ACS “Green Chemistry Student Chapter.” However, member involvement remains integral to accomplishing these goals.
