Information

     The Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society, or SAACS, is the student portion of the American Chemical Society. The ACS is an association of professional and academic chemists composed of local chapters. We at Murray State are part of the Kentucky Lake chapter, encompassing far western Kentucky and northwest Tennessee.
     Advantages of SAACS membership include the establishment of a support structure of friends and faculty within the chemistry department and Murray State. Opportunities for exposure to professional aspects of chemistry and for involvement in the community are also enhanced. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors can gain leadership experience by becoming SAACS officers.

Membership

     ANY UNDERGRADUATE with an interest in chemistry can be a part of SAACS. Chemistry majors and minors are strongly encouraged to join. Voting membership is limited to ACS members ($17 paid to the national organization each year), however, graduate students and undergrads not affiliated with ACS may become non-voting members of SAACS. Local, non-voting membership dues are $5 per year.
