2022

In 2022, under the leadership of Mallia, the Georgia Local Section successfully organized the ACS Project SEED program and supported six economically disadvantaged high school students from Gwinnett County. Professor-mentors from Georgia Gwinnett College provided unique research opportunities for the students in their laboratories and mentored them on a daily basis. The six SEED fellows conducted their summer research at the School of Science and Technology, Georgia Gwinnett College and completed safety programs conducted by the host institution.

The SEED program was completed successfully, complying with all SEED guidelines. Students were expected to work like professionals, typically putting in a forty-hour week for ten weeks and were exposed to a variety of professional development topics, including oral presentation skills. All SEED fellows submitted their reports and evaluations by the deadlines. The ACS GA SEED program received attention from Georgia Governor’s policy makers, local news media (Gwinnett Daily Post), and CBS local news media. Five Project SEED students from ACS GA received Project SEED scholarships in 2022.
