The Chemistry Club at Valparaiso University is a student organization focused on enhancing the overall experience of VU chemistry students through a variety of activities. Academic-related activities include introducing chemical principles to local 5th graders using exciting chemical demonstrations, purchasing and distributing course study guides and laboratory safety supplies to students, and organizing trips to visit local graduate schools. The vast majority of Chem Club activities focus around food and entertainment. Events like the Regressive Dinner, Mole Day party, Neils All-Nighter and picnics are always a lot of fun and help to build relationships among the students and faculty. The club holds a generaral meeting approximately once a month as well as weekly executive board meetings. Anyone interested is welcome to attend any of the meetings!
