Congratulations to group members Yaming and Derek on becoming officers for the University of Minnesota Student Chapter of ACS POLY PMSE.

Previously, group members Leon and Jeff were part of the founding officers for this student group.

The UMN Chapter of the ACS POLY PMSE was created to facilitate seminars related to the field of polymers, organize social and outreach events for the community, and host career development and networking opportunities with industry for its members. The activities, events, and programs aim to highlight the direct effects of polymer materials on every day lives and emphasize the importance of polymer technology in addressing future societal challenges.
