Session: Successful Student Chapters:

Last year was particularly challenging. Earlier on 2020, we suffer several earthquakes in the south of the island, very close to our Campus. That delayed our activities, and then the pandemic was declared, increasing our challenges. The changes in the class modalities, it was hard getting used to a new way of doing meeting and activities. We are used to do many in person activities, such as the open house for high school students, vigil for children, lunch for our peers, Earth and National Chemistry week celebrations, participating of the Chemistry Festival, and many more activities. This year we had to reinvent ourselves and reflect on our history. Although it was a difficult time, the chapter collaborated actively both within our chapter and to our community. We grew as a team, as friends and as family. Part of our activities was to support our members with their daily challenges, in school and outside. We learned to be, even more, perseverant, empathetic and helpful, making us better professionals and individuals. This poster shows a trip through our successful years, including last year: as a challenging successful one.
