Our Mission
The object of this Chapter shall be to afford an opportunity for students interested in chemistry at Lake Forest College to become better acquainted, to secure the intellectual stimulation that arises from professional association, to secure experience in preparing and presenting technical material, to instill a professional pride in chemistry and to educate the Lake Forest College community and our members.
Service Projects
