It’s National Chemistry Week (October 18-24), and the American Chemical Society (ACS) student chapter at Rhodes College has been selected to receive an Honorable Mention Award for its activities conducted during the 2008-2009 academic year.

Dr. Mauricio Cafiero, faculty advisor, was commended for his “great commitment of time and energy” to the chapter.

Chapter members take chemistry demonstrations to local elementary, middle and high schools and have judged science fairs at the schools.  Cafiero adds, “Chapter president Betsy Parkinson ′10 did an outstanding job in organizing activities and running the club.”
