March 27th Section Meeting at Muhlenberg College
Welcomed ACS President-elect Dorothy Phillips!
About 40 LVACS members went to Muhlenberg College for the March 27th Section Meeting with a very special guest speaker: the 2024 ACS President-elect Dorothy Phillips, PhD. Co-organizers for the meeting were Muhlenberg’s WiSTEM and Chemistry & Biochemistry Clubs. Dorothy's talk, "Crossing Roads: Risk and Opportunities," reviewed the challenges she faced during her career progress and how she took risks in order to gain opportunities that might never have otherwise appeared. A good summary of her experiences may be viewed here. Slide show. See News page and the April Octagon for more

WHO ARE WE?
The Lehigh Valley Section of the American Chemical Society was the fifth local ACS section to be chartered. Founded in 1894, it serves the Lehigh Valley Area including six counties in Pennsylvania (Monroe, Northampton, Lehigh, Schuylkill, Berks and Carbon) and Warren county in New Jersey. ACS Local Sections promote public awareness of chemistry through community outreach programs. Working with students of chemistry and science, we encourage an interest in the chemical sciences. The LVACS also provides a valuable forum for communication between members and serves as a platform for sharing scientific and educational information.
