Chemistry Club

The Chemistry Club, the Undergraduate American Chemical Society affiliate, promotes an active social and professional involvement for the chemistry major. Trips to industrial laboratories, (such as Pfizer Pharmaceutical); government laboratories, (Rhode Island Department of Health) and attendance at monthly meetings of the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society routinely form a major part of the club's activities. The Club also sponsors faculty-student softball and volleyball contests and picnics, and co-sponsors the Department Awards Presentations.

Chemistry students have also been active in intercollegiate athletics (UMass Dartmouth is a Division III School), lettering in men's and women's basketball, women's volleyball, field hockey, women's softball, swimming, track, football and the equestrian team, in many cases while maintaining Dean's List academic status (GPA 3.2 for the semester).
