American Chemical Society (ACS) Student Chapter

Founded as the TAMIU Chemistry Club, this student organization was created to inspire young minds and let them discover the world of science through exciting concepts and experiments. As an active chapter of the ACS, the organization was renamed in 2018 to become TAMIU’s American Chemical Society (ACS) Student Chapter.

This organization wishes to stand as the most important student organization for the academic and professional advancement of students majoring in Chemistry, Biology, and related STEM studies at Texas A&M International University. TAMIU ACS aims to promote science and give back to the community by engaging its members in different activities, trips to conferences, and community service opportunities.
