ACS Senior Chemists
The Senior Chemists Committee (SCC) encourages engagement and collaboration across the Society with ACS groups and within the community. SCC’s objectives are 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. The committee established a new strategic plan in August 2018. If you have questions, or would like to get involved with the committee’s activities, please send an email to seniorchemists@acs.org.

Let’s Stay Connected – SCC Zoom Guide
Senior Chemists Committee members have enjoyed using Zoom to stay connected. The Zoom guides are designed for novices and avoid the use of computer jargon. The illustrations are screenshots at the time the guide was written and may change as Zoom is updated. Please send us a note at seniorchemists@acs.org with suggestions for additional guides that you think would be of help.
