Some of our signature events include the Winifred Burks-Houck Luncheon\, the Percy Julian Luncheon\, and the NOBCChE Awards Ceremony! \n\nGreen and Sustainable Chemistry for the Improvement of Life- Supporting the Incorporation of Green Chemistry in the Undergraduate Curriculum\nBy Dr. Deborah Bromfield-Lee and Dr. Monica Nyansa\nOctober 1st\, 2024 | Gatlin E5\, Rosen Shingle Creek Hotel\, Orlando FL \nBeyond Benign\, a global nonprofit\, recognized for its advocacy in green chemistry education\, champions the integration of green chemistry and sustainable practices into chemistry curricula through collaborative development and dissemination of resources through its flagship programs\, the Green Chemistry Commitment (GCC) and the newly launched online Green Chemistry Teaching and Learning Community (GCTLC) platform. Both the GCC and GCTLC aim to empower educators to cultivate a generation of scientists adept at addressing global challenges\, including those from underrepresented communities\, through sustainable chemistry practices. The goal of this session is to empower professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to integrate green chemistry and sustainability principles into their chemistry curriculum\, aligning with the 2023 American Chemical Society’s (ACS) Guidelines for Bachelor’s Degree Program\, which state as a critical requirement that\, to maintain or obtain ACS approval\, the curriculum must provide students with a working knowledge of the Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry. Furthermore\, this session serves as a call to action for professionals to become agents of change in training scientists from underrepresented communities and invites them into the creation process. During the session\, attendees will gain insights into practical approaches for integrating green chemistry into undergraduate chemistry programs. The discussion will also address common barriers to implementation and highlight available resources from Beyond Benign to support educators on their green chemistry and sustainability journey\, including the newly launched online Green Chemistry Teaching and Learning Community (GCTLC) platform. \nThis session is intended for young professionals\, Mid-Career professionals\, Distinguished professionals and senior graduate students.

SUMMARY:Greener Curriculum Showcase Series: Exploring Sustainable Practices and the Drive for Greener Innovations - A case study in Metal Plating
DESCRIPTION:This free\, virtual workshop is designed to help educators effectively adapt and implement a new case study that examines the various considerations and factors driving greener innovations in the metal plating industry. One of the primary chemicals used in this sector is PFAS\, which acts as a fume suppressant to control chromic acid mist during the chrome plating process. While PFAS reduces exposure to the known health hazard of hexavalent chromium\, its health and environmental impacts raise significant concerns\, underscoring the need for greener alternatives. \nThe case study focuses on the design of a new non-PFAS\, non-PFOS fume suppressant\, applying the 12 principles of green chemistry. It explores the implementation of this greener product in real-world applications within the metal plating industry. \nThis resource is ideal for educators seeking to enhance their curriculum with real-world applications that align with the academic and professional guidelines for undergraduate programs\, such as those set by the American Chemical Society. Participants will learn effective strategies for using the case study to illustrate to their students the critical interplay of chemical\, environmental health\, regulatory\, and business considerations in the design of chemical products and processes\, fostering a deeper understanding of the factors influencing greener innovations. \nDuring the 1.5-hour session\, facilitators will guide participants through the resources\, offer practical strategies for adaptation and implementation\, and create opportunities for educators to share insights. The workshop will feature group-based learning\, discussions\, networking opportunities\, and a Q&A session. Don’t miss this opportunity to expand your teaching toolkit\, engage with peers\, and inspire the next generation of green chemists. \nWorkshop Goals: \n\nEducate participants on the interplay of the different factors influencing greener innovations including chemical\, environmental health\, business and regulatory considerations\nGuide participants on practical approaches to effectively incorporate the case study materials into their curriculum.\nEmpower participants to adapt and implement the case study resources and expand their professional network.

SUMMARY:ACS GCI Green & Sustainable Chemistry Summer School
DESCRIPTION:The ACS Green and Sustainable Chemistry Summer School (GSCSS) is a highly selective week-long program for graduate students and postdoctoral chemists and engineers. Each year\, approximately 60 exceptional students from North\, Central\, and South America and the Caribbean are selected from a large pool of applicants and gather for this fully funded once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The American Chemical Society pays for all eligible travel and program costs. \nOrganized and hosted by the Green Chemistry Institute since 2003\, the summer school typically features more than a dozen expert instructors who share knowledge and skills from across a broad spectrum of topics directly relevant to green chemistry and sustainability. Throughout the program\, students attend lectures and interactive study/project sessions\, present posters about their own research\, hold discussions\, and spend time networking both with each other and the GSCSS faculty. Alumni of this program have gone on to become leaders in many green chemistry and sustainability-related fields and provide participants with an extensive network of professional contacts.

SUMMARY:Greener Curriculum Showcase Series: Green Chemistry and Sustainability Case Studies in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:This free\, virtual workshop is designed to support educators in effectively adapting and implementing case studies based on soy chemistry. It also guides educators in developing their own case studies using a newly created template and instructional guide co-developed by Beyond Benign and the American Chemical Society Green Chemistry Institute (ACS GCI). Integrating case studies into the curriculum is an effective way to provide context for chemical concepts and highlight real-world green chemistry applications and sustainable innovations for students. \nThe soy chemistry case studies are part of a new curriculum launched this fall. These studies explore the industrial applications of soybeans as a renewable resource\, demonstrating how green chemistry principles and sustainable innovation can replace petroleum-based products such as transformer oils\, solvents\, and wood adhesives. Each case study is designed to engage students with real-life contexts while reinforcing key chemistry concepts commonly taught in the classroom. \nThe case study templates help educators seamlessly incorporate real-world chemistry examples into their teaching\, with an emphasis on sustainability and systems thinking. Each template includes a comprehensive workbook and user guide to support instructors through the process of developing and implementing case studies effectively. \nThis resource is ideal for educators seeking to enrich their curriculum with practical\, sustainability-focused content aligned with the ACS Guidelines for Bachelor’s Degree Programs. Workshop participants will gain hands-on experience with the case study framework and learn strategies for using and creating case studies that highlight the critical role of chemistry in sustainable innovation—fostering a deeper understanding of the design of greener chemical products and processes\, and equipping students to contribute to a more sustainable future. \nDuring the 2-hour session\, facilitators will guide participants through the resources\, offer practical strategies for adaptation and implementation\, and create opportunities for educators to share insights. The workshop will feature group-based learning\, discussions\, networking opportunities\, and a Q&A session. Don’t miss this opportunity to expand your teaching toolkit\, engage with peers\, and inspire the next generation of green chemists! \n \nThe goals for the workshop include:\n\nEducate participants on the use of case studies as effective teaching tools in the classroom.\nGuide participants through practical approaches for adapting and creating case studies for their curriculum.\nEmpower participants to implement case study resources and expand their professional network.\n\nWe hope you’ll join us! There are limited seats available for this workshop\, so registration is on a first-come\, first-served basis. Please register in advance below so we can reserve a spot for you. We’ll send the Zoom link and more details closer to the event date.
