Our campus club continues in October with two more events. This Monday evening at 5:00 in room 125 of Northside Hall the club has arranged for biochemist Shahir Rizk to give a talk about graduate school - one possible avenue to consider after graduation. His talk is directed to sophomores and juniors to discuss what students can do to gain experiences that will give them an advantage over other applicants. Undergraduate research, tutoring, and club membership are just some activities to consider.
This weekend the club has another community outreach event planned - again at the River Park branch of the public library. This time they celebrate National Chemistry Week with the theme of "Stellar Science". National Chemistry Week is held each October during the week of the 23rd because the date 10/23 symbolizes the "power" of one of the most important constants in chemistry: Avogadros' number, 6.022´10^23. The fun starts at 11:00 AM, so please stop by with a younger family member and let them see just how exciting science can be.
Addendum: Here are a few photos of our students just after setup, waiting for the kids to arrive. This is a great experience for the kids and also our students.
