Sidewalk Chemistry

Join the UNCW Chemistry Department on April 17th from 1–2 PM for an exciting hour of hands‑on science on Chancellor's walk and in front of Dobo hall. Stop by to explore eye‑catching demonstrations, chat with chemistry faculty and students, and see everyday reactions come to life in surprising ways. Whether you’re a science lover or just curious, this drop‑in event is a fun and informal way to experience the magic of chemistry on campus. All are welcome!

Gamma Sigma Epsilon is a national chemistry honor society founded in 1919 at Davidson College.

The original fraternity was created to promote academic excellence and undergraduate research scholarship in chemistry. In 1931 the fraternity went co-ed and became an honor society.

Today there are over seventy active Gamma Sigma Epsilon chapters throughout the United States. The Society is governed by a National Executive Council of elected officers and meets in biennial conventions for the purpose of governance, fellowship, and scientific exchange.
The Chemistry Club is a club focused on community outreach and exposing the general public to information involving chemistry and increasing awareness of chemistry's impact on everyday life.
Science Olympiad is a targeted opportunity to serve and recruit interested students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
