The Texas Woman’s University Division of Chemistry and Biochemistry’s student organization — the KEM Club (Kappa Epsilon Mu) — has received a Commendable Mention Award from the American Chemical Society Committee on Education in recognition of the club’s commitment to promote chemistry at the university and beyond.

KEM Club members along with faculty advisors John Beatty and Yunxiang Li (both Denton) travel to area elementary schools to encourage young student interest in science and higher education. They also coordinate outreach activities to expand student involvement in the community.
