Chem Demo Program - This program, led by Profs. Emeriti Rubin Battino and John Fortman, with the assistance of Andrea Burns, Kirby Underwood, students, and staff, reaches roughly 7500-8000 high school, junior high, and grade school students each year with multiple presentations in December and March. It is, so far as we can determine, the largest chemistry outreach program in the nation (and possibly the world). Students are shown demonstrations of exciting chemical phenomena, with a lively dialog of information and humor.
Chemistry Club. The Chemistry Club is a highly active student organization. Its activities include 30-minute meetings every other week, a monthly calendar available to all students, presentations of posters at scientific meetings, field trips to chemical companies, an active Demo Team that presents shows to area elementary schools; plus assorted volunteer and social events.
