American Chemistry Society club members discuss an upcoming prehealth conference at their weekly meeting Tuesday, May 1<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

 <\/p>\n

Award-winning chemistry club celebrates two years at San Jose City College.<\/p>\n

The American Chemistry Society club at San Jose City College has won 12 awards in local and national competitions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey (students) get to do a lot of scholarly work, and they get very unique educational experiences, mainly in research and conference attendance and participation,\u201d said Madeline Adamczeski, ACS club adviser. \u201cTo be in community college and have that opportunity, it\u2019s incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Club members have opportunities to participate\u00a0in many local and national ACS conferences and Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Sciences conferences.<\/p>\n

Spring 2012 ACS President Athena Ford said the LAPS PharmD conference at University of California, San Francisco showed her that graduate school was a possibility for low-income students.<\/p>\n

The MIMS conference helped her decide on a career path and solidify her goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI realized how\u202finfluential\u202fthe club was on how I\u202fviewed\u202fmy educational career,\u201d Ford said.\u202f\u201cJoining the\u202fACS club opened up countless\u202fopportunities\u202ffor me.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year was the first time students went to the Latino Association Pharmacy Students PharmD Conference and Mental Illness Management Service conference.<\/p>\n

Ford said that such successful conferences like these are likely be continued.<\/p>\n

Outdoor trips to local museums and research laboratories are always in the club\u2019s activities. Club members are exposed to a variety of scientific environments.<\/p>\n

ACS club also works closely with the SACNAS\u00a0chapters at SJCC, San Jose\u00a0State University and University of California, Santa Cruz. A number of students who transferred to SJSU, UCSC\u00a0and pharmacy schools also act as ambassadors for the SJCC ACS chapter.<\/p>\n

Being known as a green club, ACS members actively work in green chemistry.<\/p>\n

Before becoming the official club, interested students, who later became the founders of ACS, held Earth day in April 2010 on campus.<\/p>\n

Strong leadership is the reason why the club held many successful events.<\/p>\n

Many ACS members are part of Peer-led Team Learning workshops that provide group activities and individualized learning to help other students understand chemistry.<\/p>\n

They are often the leaders and tutors at PLTL. Many students, who were in the PLTL workshop, later become the club\u2019s members.<\/p>\n

The ACS club was officially formed at SJCC\u00a0in the spring of 2011. Before becoming an official club, a few chemistry students and teachers had been worked together on their research.<\/p>\n

On Dec. 10 after receiving the starter grant for ACS student chapters from the national organization, the ACS club officially started with 12 student members with Eric Oh as the club\u2019s president.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone is welcomed to join,\u201d Ford said.<\/p>\n

However, she said members should have an interest in math or science as the club has a strong emphasis on allied health fields and chemistry.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can attend this school for years and never really make any lasting connections,\u201d Ford said. \u201cJoining a club like ACS will help you build up relationships that will last a lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n
