The Greater Houston Section of the American Chemical Society recently concluded another successful Project SEED Summer Program, led by Eme Abu!

This summer, 16 students completed research experiences at the University of Houston, Sam Houston State University, and Houston Electron Microscopy Laboratory. The program culminated in a Celebration of Learning at St. John's School in Houston, where more than 100 attendees gathered to recognize the students' achievements and the impact of the program.

The event also recognized this year's scholarship recipients which was led by Tai-Yen Chen. In addition, our local section's Best in High School Chemistry Teaching award recipient, Eric Oblinger, and our dedicated Project SEED mentors were honored for their outstanding contributions.

We wrapped up the summer on a high note! Congratulations to all of our students, scholarship recipients, mentors, and award winners on an outstanding summer of discovery, learning, and achievement.
