ACS Senior Chemists
The Senior Chemists Committee (SCC) encourages engagement and collaboration across the Society with ACS groups and within the community. The committee has established goals to improve communication among senior chemists, increase the number of senior chemists’ groups and the level of their engagement within local sections, and encourage the involvement of senior chemists in programs focused on K-12 education, undergraduate networking, and mentoring. You can find more information about the committee on the ACS Governance page. Information regarding the committee’s progress was highlighted in the SCC chair’s comment in the May 29, 2017 issue of Chemical & Engineering News.
