Established in 1962, we have over 1000 members. We promote the general awareness of chemistry in our community and work with students to encourage their growth in the field of chemical science.
OCACS organizes many activities through the year, such as frequent dinner meetings at which you can listen to a professional talk, and the National Chemistry Week program, High School Olympiad, and Student Award ceremonies.
