The 2007 National Chemistry Week theme "The Many Faces of Chemistry" provides an excellent opportunity for those of us involved in the local sections of the ACS to reflect on whether we are successfully recruiting and engaging the next generation of chemists. This article describes one local section's attempt at improving their commitment to the undergraduate students in their section by conducting a Career Event annually for the benefit of these students.

The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.
Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students.
Occasionally, collections of JCE back issues become available for donation to individual teachers, schools, or libraries. JCE matches collections with interested recipients. Recipients pay shipping costs or pick up the collection.
