The UIS Chemistry Club promotes chemistry on campus and the community through activities that are both fun and educational. Any student remotely interested in chemistry is welcome to participate.
Every October we sponsor an on-campus celebration of National
Chemistry Week. Click
here for more information.
The 2009 celebration featured making liquid nitrogen ice cream that was written about in the Springfield Journal Register. That same week, a group from the club gave out prizes to anyone who tried to match state abbreviations with element symbols on a blank map of the United States.
Other events include the end of the year BBQ and informational gatherings for students interested in learning more about graduate school, undergraduate research, or Applied Study Term.
At Graduate Info Night, students and faculty typically get together over pizza, and faculty discuss the process as well as their own experiences of going through graduate school.
At the annual AST/Research Night, a representative from the AST office and a few professors talked about their research interests.

Meetings are usually held biweekly. Times and dates vary so that we may try to fit everyone's schedules. For more information about upcoming meetings, please contact our President.
