Many Chemistry Majors are active in the Chemistry Club and/or the Alpha Chi Sigma (AXE) professional fraternity.
Update: A listing of upcoming events for Fall 2008 is available online here.
The Virginia Tech Chemistry Club is a recognized and award-winning Student Affiliate Chapter of the American Chemical Society (ACS). The Chemistry Club hosts activities
and participates in events that promote awareness of chemistry.
The ACS Student Affiliates program supports undergraduate students, their faculty, and the local section members in promoting professional development, mentoring, and peer-support mechanisms for those majoring in the chemical sciences.
Giving students the professional edge, student affiliation allows students to network with top professionals, attend scientific meetings, and directly access research. Affiliates receive substantial discounts and directly access research. Affiliates also enjoy substantial discounts on ACS journals, Chemical & Engineering News, four issues of the undergraduate career magazine in Chemistry, career and employment services, and the Directory of Experience Opportunities that lists co-ops, internships, and summer jobs for undergraduate chemical science students.
