The American Chemical Society (ACS) Committee on Ethics (ETHX) and the ACS Division of Chemical Health and Safety (CHAS) are excited to announce their second annual ACS Undergraduate Award for Excellence in Chemical Safety & Ethics.
Purpose of the Award: to recognize senior undergraduates who have actively demonstrated the intersectionality between chemical safety and ethical behavior. Chemical safety is not merely a matter of rule compliance but one of culture—a matter of doing the right thing with respect to oneself and one's peers.
Eligibility: Institutions worldwide are each invited to nominate one outstanding graduating senior in the chemical sciences (chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, chemical engineering technology or some permutation thereof) who has actively demonstrated the connection between chemical safety and ethics through behavior and schoolwork.
The student nominee will receive the following:
- A letter of recognition from the Chairs of CHAS and ETHX, as well as an official award certificate
- One year's membership in the ACS Division of Chemical Health & Safety (CHAS) (ACS membership is not required to be a member of the CHAS Division)
- Recognition on the CHAS and ETHX websites
Deadline for submissions: June 1, 2024
