Chemistry & Biochemistry Club


Our Chemistry Club was again recognized with an Honorable Mention in the 2023–2024 American Chemical Society (ACS) Student Communities Awards — a national recognition celebrating our strong programming and dedication to promoting chemistry. Through hands-on activities, guest speakers and professional networking events, the club brings students together to explore science, build connections and have some fun along the way!

The Chemistry and Biochemistry Club is a place where we get together with a common interest — chemistry, biochemistry or a love of science! Our club is affiliated with the Student Association and the American Chemical Society (ACS) under the name of SUNY Plattsburgh ACS Student Chapter.
