Celebrating ACS 150th Anniversary
Our anniversary journey is shaped by ACS’s core values — passion for science, inclusion and belonging, lifelong learning, and sustainability. Each month, we’ll spotlight a unique theme that reflects these values and helps unify our celebration across channels. ACS will be sharing videos, stories, podcasts, and more to amplify each theme, and we invite you to do the same! Be on the lookout for new content each month, and if you have ideas or contributions that align with a theme, we’d love to hear from you, reach out to us at ACS150thanniversary@acs.org.Take a look at the ACS150 Playbook! Inside, you’ll find everything you need to celebrate ACS’ 150th anniversary and highlight our theme of Chemistry is Everything throughout 2026 — guidelines, best practices, templates, tools, and tips — to help you craft content that connects and inspires.

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. Read our Values Statement.
