Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society

The Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society, or SAACS, is the student portion of the American Chemical Society (ACS). The ACS is an association of professional and academic chemists and chemical engineers composed of local chapters. Advantages of SAACS membership include the establishment of a support structure of friends and faculty within the chemistry department and The University of Alabma. 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. Any undergraduate with an interest in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering is welcome to participate with SAACS. Chemistry majors and minors are strongly encouraged to join. Membership to the national ACS organization ($17 national dues) is encouraged but not required.
