The UPLB Society of Chemical Engineering Students (UPLB SChemES), a duly recognized premier academic organization at the University of the Philippines Los Baños exclusive for B.S. Chemical Engineering students have been committed to the pursuit of professional and academic excellence, the enhancement of interactions among university constituents, and the advancement of the Philippine community thr
ough the application of Chemical Engineering. Through hosting events and participating in activities that are aimed to fulfill the mandate, we were able to evolve into a more competitive and reputable organization. With this drive for growth, the Society has been able to produce academic and professional members that actively and meaningfully contribute to the overall wellness and knowledge of the community. In September 1986, twenty chemical engineering students founded an organization exclusive for chemical engineering students with the hopes of being the leading academic organization in chemical engineering by providing and holding valuable events, programs and seminars that are geared towards nation building, human advancement through engineering and exploration of scientific knowledge. The Society started chasing its goal by creating new activities and events such as Meet the Board, Legal Minds, Ultimate ChEllenge, and many more. Through the years, the organization expanded its connections by becoming an active student arm of the Department of Chemical Engineering. UPLB SChemES also developed relationships to chemical engineering organizations like the Philippine Institute of Chemical Engineers - Junior Chapter Luzon and Laguna Student Chapter while also forging ties with professional chemical engineering organization with the like of the Philippine Institute of Chemical Engineers - Laguna. By developing these relationships, the Society has expanded its scope and was able to continue holding activities and events that are the embodiment of its mantra of Lakas, Lupit, at Astig. Since its foundation, UPLB SChemES has managed to establish its own reputation as a competitive organization. Along with the growth of the organization's image is the continuous quest for excellence, leadership, and comprehensive development among its members. Now in its 37th year, new potentials are found and innovative visions are explored. UPLB SChemES continues to provide opportunities and create reality. This is the Society. Senior Advisers:
