The American Chemical Society (ACS) the world’s largest scientific society, promotes the scientific development of undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty members, and their communities, through scientific diversity.  The University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras chapter exemplifies this diversity by having student members from all around Puerto Rico and from diverse undergraduate majors. Thus, allowing interdisciplinary connections between science fields with innovative ideas and creative initiatives.

​

Our chapter’s main goal is to develop and encourage student members through chemistry, to become the scientific leaders of our society. To do so, the chapter members work with community service, hands–on demonstrations and magic chemistry shows that are presented to the community. These activities allow our members to enrich and inspire the community through the interesting world of chemistry.
