American Chemical Society/ Society of Physics Students       The American Chemical Society (ACS) and Society of Physics Students (SPS, which is a sub-component of the American Physical Society, APS) are two internationally-recognized professional societies dedicated to promoting the physical sciences. Benedictine University is fortunate to maintain chapters of both these organizations, which hold joint meeting together as ACS-SPS. Our activities include a student-led chemistry/ physics seminar series, career-building events, field trips to local scientific institutions, and social outings as well. Optional national membership in ACS or SPS additionally makes students eligible for external scholarships and travel grants to attend national ACS or APS conferences. http://www.spsnational.org http://portal.acs.org/portal/acs/corg/content Faculty Advisors: Dr. Tim Marin & Dr. Andrew Wig American Medical Student Association Pre-Med AMSA As the most popular student-driven organization at Benedictine University, AMSA provides students with help to achieve their goals of attending various professional schools.
