UVA Student Chapter Wins ACS Award

For the second year in a row, the University of Virginia Chemistry Department’s ACS Student Chapter received recognition from the American Chemical Society. 

The Chapter received an Honorable Mention from the ACS for the 2022-2023 school year. 

According to the ACS website, the responsibilities of student chapters include “setting goals, budgeting, chapter development, service and outreach, and professional development.” Chapters who received an award are recognized at the ACS Spring Meeting. 

The acknowledgements were earned thanks to the leadership of former president Nina Jannatifar — now a student in the School of Medicine — and the most recent year’s board officers, led by Dade Walker. 

Congratulations to the UVA ACS Student Chapter on their phenomenal work.
