Abstract

The 2007 National Chemistry Week theme "The Many Faces of Chemistry" provides an excellent opportunity for those of us involved in the local sections of the ACS to reflect on whether we are successfully recruiting and engaging the next generation of chemists. This article describes one local section's attempt at improving their commitment to the undergraduate students in their section by conducting a Career Event annually for the benefit of these students.
