Student Involvement
Page Content
American Chemical Society
The mission of ACS is to cultivate a positive environment and community in which STEM and non-STEM students alike can learn more about chemistry and find opportunities to get involved in our community. With the reputation of the physical sciences as being intimidating and difficult, our priority is to make chemistry more accessible and exciting to USM students by curating events that are designed to help educate as much as entertain. Through our STEM outreach events, we also work with local elementary schools to help instill an interest in chemistry at a young age, with the hope of helping encourage the next generation of scientists. By participating in ACS, students are able to not only participate in academic-centered events like study sessions, but are also better equipped to find involvement opportunities both within and outside USM while learning more about a career in the sciences.

Society of Physics Students
We are a student organization that provides community outreach and information of the many real world principles of physics. We primarily do outreach with high school and middle school children and provide them with real world demonstrations of how the things that they are learning in physics class can apply in their day to day. We also provide insight and advice on those interested in physics and other related STEM fields as a career path and many other higher education opportunities.

Kappa Mu Epsilon Math Honor Society
The primary purposes of being a member of Kappa Mu Epsilon include the following:
-to further the interests of mathematics in those schools which place their primary
emphasis on undergraduate programs;
-to help undergraduate students realize the important role that mathematics has played
in the development of civilization;
-to develop an appreciation of the power and beauty possessed by mathematics, due,
mainly, to its demand for logical and rigorous modes of thought;
-to provide a society for the recognition of outstanding achievement in the study
of mathematics at the undergraduate level;
