Apply for a 2010 Student Leadership Award

Want to improve your management and leadership skills? Apply for a 2010 Student Leadership award! This award covers travel, accommodation and registration expenses for the 2010 ACS Leadership Institute held January 22-24, 2010 in Fort Worth, TX at the Omni Hotel.

This is an excellent opportunity to witness first hand the qualities successful leaders possess. Network with local section and division leaders, national committee chairs, and younger chemists and learn from how to plan events, raise funds and effectively communicate.

• have completed one or more years towards an undergraduate degree in the chemical sciences*,
• be a paid ACS student member residing in the US or Puerto Rico, and
• currently hold or have held an office in an active** ACS student chapter.

• completed application form,
• resume (please specify your leadership experiences), and
• letter of reference from a faculty member or employer familiar with your leadership activities and potential.
