Minimum wage statistics
From Statistics Explained
- Data from September 2014. Most recent data: Further Eurostat information, Main tables and Database. Planned article update: February 2015.
This article illustrates how minimum wage levels vary considerably across the European Union (EU) Member States; it also provides a comparison with the situation in the candidate countries and the United States.
Minimum wage statistics, as published by Eurostat, refer to national minimum wages. The national minimum wage usually applies to all employees, or at least to a large majority of employees in a country. It is enforced by law, often after consultation with social partners, or directly by a national intersectoral agreement.
Minimum wages are generally presented as monthly wage rates for gross earnings, that is, before the deduction of income tax and social security contributions payable by the employee; these deductions vary from country to country.
National minimum wages are published by Eurostat bi-annually. They reflect the situation on 1 January and 1 July of each year. As a consequence, modifications to minimum wages introduced between these two dates are only shown for the following bi-annual release of data.

Main statistical findings
Variations in national minimum wages
Minimum wages in the EU Member States ranged from EUR 174 to EUR 1 921 per month in July 2014
In 2014, 21 out of the 28 EU Member States (Denmark, Germany, Italy, Cyprus, Austria, Finland and Sweden were the exceptions) had a national minimum wage (see Map 1). As of 1 July 2014, monthly minimum wages varied widely, from a low of EUR 174 in Bulgaria to EUR 1 921 in Luxembourg. There was also a national minimum wage in the following candidate countries: Albania, Montenegro, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey.
Figure 1 shows gross minimum monthly wage levels expressed in euro terms in July 2014. The countries are divided into three groups based on the level of their minimum wages. The first group includes 15 countries whose minimum wages were lower than EUR 500 a month: Albania, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Romania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Serbia, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Latvia, Hungary, Slovakia, Estonia, Turkey, Croatia and Poland.
The second group comprises five EU Member States (Portugal, Greece, Malta, Spain and Slovenia) and the United States, each with an intermediate level of minimum wages, ranging from EUR 500 to EUR 1 000 a month.
The final group comprises six EU Member States (the United Kingdom, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg) where minimum wages were above EUR 1 000 per month.
It should be noted that for those EU Member States outside of the euro area that have minimum wages (Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, Romania and the United Kingdom), as well as for Albania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Serbia, Turkey and the United States, the levels and ranking of minimum wages expressed in euro terms are affected by exchange rates.
Minimum wages expressed in purchasing power standards
The gap between countries in the level of minimum wages is considerably smaller once price level differences are taken into account
Figure 2 compares gross minimum wages taking into account differences in price levels by applying purchasing power parities (PPPs for household final consumption expenditure). As might be expected, adjusting for differences in price levels reduces the variation between countries. The countries in Group 1 with relatively low minimum wages in euro terms tend to report lower price levels and therefore relatively higher minimum wages when expressed in purchasing power standard (PPS) terms. On the other hand, countries in Group 3 with relatively high minimum wages in euro terms tend to have higher price levels, and their minimum wages in PPS terms are generally relatively lower. This adjustment for price levels has the effect of partly smoothing the distinct breaks between the three different groups of countries that were identified when ranked in euro terms. The disparities in minimum wage rates between the EU Member States were reduced from a ratio of 1:11 in euro terms to a ratio of 1:5 in PPS terms. Across the EU Member States, monthly minimum wages ranged from 354 PPS in Romania to 1 559 PPS in Luxembourg.
As well as narrowing the range between the highest and lowest minimum wages, the conversion from euro to PPS changes the order of the ranking of countries. The main differences between minimum wage rates in euro terms and PPS terms were observed in Bulgaria, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Estonia and Portugal, as well as Turkey — each of these countries changed its position in the rankings by at least two places. Nine countries changed their positions by a single place (Montenegro, Romania, Latvia, Croatia, Poland, Malta, Spain, France and Ireland). The vast majority of the countries remained in the same group when analysing Figures 1 and 2. The exceptions included Hungary, Croatia, Turkey and Poland, which moved from Group 1 (low minimum wages) to Group 2 (medium minimum wages) and the United States which moved from Group 2 (medium minimum wages) to Group 3 (higher minimum wages).
Minimum wage levels in relation to average gross monthly earnings
In 2013, the level of gross minimum wages varied from 30 % to just over 50 % of the average gross monthly earnings for those working in industry, construction or services (activities of households as employers and extra-territorial organisations and bodies are excluded), as covered by NACE Rev. 2 Sections B–S (see Figure 3).
The level of minimum wages in relation to average gross monthly earnings was highest in Slovenia (51.4 %), Greece (50.1 %, 2011) and Turkey (50.0 %, 2010). At the lower end of the ranking, the United States, the Czech Republic, Estonia (2012), Romania (2012) and Spain each reported that the level of their minimum wages was less than 35 % of average gross monthly earnings.
Proportion of minimum wage earners
The proportion of employees earning the minimum wage can vary sizeably across countries. By linking microdata from the latest four-yearly structure of earnings survey (SES) with the level of minimum wages in force at the time (October 2010 for the last SES), it is possible to derive an estimate (as presented in Figure 4). For the sake of comparability, the scope has been restricted to full-time workers aged 21 years and over, working in enterprises with 10 employees and more, after excluding public administration, defence and compulsory social security (NACE Rev. 2 Section O). Moreover, monthly earnings calculated from the 2010 edition of the SES exclude any earnings related to overtime and shift work.
Among the EU Member States with a minimum wage, the proportion of employees being paid less than 105 % of the national minimum wage was above 9.0 % in eight Member States, namely: Slovenia (19.2 %), Lithuania (13.7 %), Latvia (11.8 %), Luxembourg (10.2 %), Poland (9.9 %), Ireland (9.2 %), France (9.2 %) and Croatia (9.2 %). Spain (0.2 %) registered the lowest proportion of employees earning less than 105 % of the national minimum wage, while the proportion of employees in the remaining 11 Member States earning less than this amount stood between 2.0 % and 4.7 %.
Data sources and availability
Monthly national minimum wages
Minimum wage statistics, published by Eurostat, refer to monthly national minimum wages. Data are published in relation to the minimum wages applied on 1 January and 1 July each year.
The basic national minimum wage is fixed at an hourly, weekly or monthly rate, and this minimum wage is enforced by law (the government), often after consultation with social partners, or directly by a national intersectoral agreement. The national minimum wage usually applies to all employees, or at least to a large majority of employees in the country; the information is reported in gross terms.
For those countries where the national minimum wage is not fixed at a monthly rate (for example, where minimum wages are specified on an hourly or weekly basis) the level of the minimum wage is converted into a monthly rate according to conversion factors supplied by the countries:
Ireland: (hourly rate x 39 hours x 52 weeks) / 12 months;
France: data for January 1999–January 2005: (hourly rate x 39 hours x 52 weeks) / 12 months; data from July 2005 onwards (hourly rate x 35 hours x 52 weeks) / 12 months;
Malta: (weekly rate x 52 weeks) / 12 months;
United Kingdom: (hourly rate x mean basic paid hours per week for full-time employees in all sectors x 52.18 weeks) / 12 months;
United States: (hourly rate x 40 hours x 52 weeks) / 12 months.
In Serbia, the hourly minimum net wage is fixed. The following conversion is applied: (hourly net rate x 40 hours x 52.2 weeks) / 12 months. The amount is then grossed up to cover the applicable taxes.
In addition, when the minimum wage is paid for more than 12 months per year (as in Greece, Spain and Portugal, where it is paid for 14 months a year), data have been adjusted to take these payments into account.
Data on national minimum wages are submitted to Eurostat in national currency terms. For the non-euro area countries, minimum wages in national currencies are converted into euro by applying the monthly exchange rate as recorded at the end of the previous month (for example, the rate at the end of December 2013 was used for calculating minimum wages in euro terms as of 1 January 2014).
To remove the effect of differences in price levels between the countries, special conversion rates called purchasing power parities (PPPs) are used. PPPs for household final consumption expenditure in each country are used to convert the monthly minimum wages expressed in euro or national currencies to an artificial common unit called the purchasing power standard (PPS). If PPPs for the latest reference period are not yet available, they are replaced by the PPP of the previous year, and the series are updated once the latest PPPs are available.
Countries not covered by minimum wage statistics
As of 1 July 2014, there was no national minimum wage in Denmark, Germany, Italy, Cyprus, Austria, Finland and Sweden, as well as Iceland, Norway and Switzerland. In Germany, minimum wages are set for several sectors by collective agreements under the provisions of the Posted Workers Act. They are declared binding by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. A national minimum wage in Germany will come into force from January 2015. In Cyprus, minimum wages are set by the government for specific occupations. In Denmark, Italy, Austria, Finland and Sweden, as well as Iceland, Norway and Switzerland minimum wages are laid down by collective agreements in specific sectors.
Average monthly earnings
Data on gross monthly earnings cover remuneration in cash paid before any tax deductions and social security contributions payable by wage earners and retained by the employer, and restricted to gross earnings which are paid in each pay period. 'Non-standard payments' such as 13th or 14th month payments (except Greece, Spain, and Portugal), holiday bonuses, and so on are excluded; this definition follows that applied within the structure of earnings survey.
Data on gross monthly earnings refer to NACE Rev. 2 Sections B–S (industry, construction and services, except activities of households as employers and extra-territorial organisations and bodies), and cover full-time employees working in enterprises of all sizes.
Several of the founding EU Member States have a lengthy tradition of ensuring a national minimum wage for those at the lower-paid end of the labour market. By contrast, a number of Member States including Ireland, the United Kingdom and many of the countries that joined the EU in 2004 or later have only recently introduced minimum wage legislation, while seven of the EU-28 Member States had no national minimum wage as of 1 July 2014.
In recent years there has been a pattern of relatively low wage increases (wage moderation) in most European countries, and many groups representing workers have argued that purchasing power and overall standards of living have fallen. Some politicians, worker representatives, pressure groups and commentators promote the idea of a 'European minimum wage' or national minimum wages set in all EU Member States.
National minimum wage levels are not necessarily changed every year, nor does the adjustment always result in a minimum wage increase — for example, the level of minimum wages in Greece decreased in 2012 as part of the austerity measures introduced by the government. The National Collective Agreement was suspended in Greece that year and the national minimum wage is now fixed by government decision.

Our society doesn't take well to getting older.During my senior year in high school my humanities teacher, Mr. Dunn, said the next cuss words, or round of insults people use, would resolve around being old."You old bag!"
I couldn't find his name on the team roster."Who's that," I asked my friend, a local sports editor and writer."Who?""Number 87, who is that kid?"I showed him the football roster and pointed out that number 87 was missing.
When I was an athlete, as in when I actually suited up in a real uniform and played, it appeared that I became someone else. I was aggressive, fearless, passionate, sweaty, and a competitor.
A friend recently shared with me a story about his tween-aged daughter. Upon his return home from work, she informed him that she had gone jogging that day.Surprised, as his daughter didn't typically go out running, he asked her why.
This summer, the kids and I traveled to Brockton to take in a Brockton Rox game. It was Halloween night so the kids dressed up as a rapper and diva. Wearing costumes took two bucks off the $5 ticket price. Score!
"I don't need your help, I got this one Mommy"Off she went. My beautiful, 6-year-old, a red-headed hurricane of a child. I only had to push her off into the waves twice this year before she was confident enough to fly solo.
According to witnesses, it appeared as though a sniper took me out as I collapsed into a cloud of dust.
It's difficult to see the finish line when there are so many obstacles in the way.My kids participated in the Easton, Massachusetts Parks and Recreation Children's Races last Thursday at Frothingham Park.

The citizen had seen the suspect checking the doors of several vehicles parked in the garage. The suspect is identified as Ashton Spohn, a 20 year old male with no fixed address.Spohn was associated to a vehicle that was described as a white Honda, and the citizen was able to give police the license plate of the vehicle. The vehicle had been reported stolen earlier in the day from an apartment complex at 800 Nichols Blvd. in Sparks.
As officers came into the area, the subject tried to drive away. Spohn drove down to the third floor, where he abandoned the car. He ran down to the second level of the garage where, in an attempt to elude officers, he jumped off the second floor ledge to the ground below. Officers were near where he landed and he was taken into custody. Spohn did not sustain injuries.

Sparks Police Department to participate in "No-Shave November" Event
The Sparks Police Department is participating in "No-Shave November" in conjunction with the American Cancer Society. Members of the Sparks Police Department may grow a goatee (within departmental regulations) during the month of November for a minimum donation to the American Cancer Society.
When the idea was proposed to the Office of the Chief, event organizers wanted to do more than grow cancer awareness, but to raise supportive funds which go towards preventing the disease and aiding those fighting the battle. Det. Ken Gallop proposed that department members who wanted to grow a goatee needed to make a minimum donation to the local office of the American Cancer Society in order to grow a goatee.
In addition to what individual department members will donate for the privilege of growing a goatee for a month, the Sparks Police Protective Association became involved and donated $1,000.00. All funds collected by department members will be given to the local office of the American Cancer Society at the end of November.
On November 8th, 2014 at approximately 5:31pm, the victim was canvassing a neighborhood near Rodolfo Ct. and Libero Dr., attempting to gain signatures for a petition. An unknown male suspect approached and struck the victim, then stole her purse. The suspect fled the area on foot and was unable to be located. The victim was unable to provide a suspect description, other than an approximately 6 foot tall male of unknown race, as his face was covered by a hooded jacket.
The Sparks Police Department is requesting anyone who may have witnessed the incident, or has any information regarding the suspect, to call Sparks Police Detectives at 775-353-2225 or Secret Witness at 775-322-4900.

Forever Immortal Chapter 1
My Gran had never been happy with my decision, but it was something that I had been inspired to do since I was a kid. I saw soldiers in the parades; heads up and chest out, their pride to serve in view.
Looking back on that, I'd still go in, no matter what. Again, I knew what I was getting into no matter how many times I kicked myself out there on the front lines. I've seen friends and enemies alike be delivered by so many idols. At times while we sat there in the hole, I'd envy them and think on taking my own life. Yet I didn't.
Charlie was one of the guys I'd been with through it all. We stuck with each other, through the good and bad. I think he was one of the reasons why I didn't die sooner. I suppose the same could be said for him as well.
As we grew closer, we found out that our homes weren't that far apart from each other. "Maybe one of these days when we're back home, we'll get our families
Forever Immortal Prologue
Our world is just like yours, only we see when death comes from us. We're not sure if Heaven is really a place or not; the same could be said for Hell as well. We only see each other fall and watch as they are carried into the beyond.
You see, everyone has their own form of death. Sometimes it's a person in a hood, or even a skeleton. Other times it's an angel or a holy symbol of some kind. Rarely it will be the very people we have seen pass ourselves. Once your deliver has carried you up out of sight, you can no longer save them. There is no CPR or needles or medicine to save you. Not even praying.
My name is Amar, which mean forever immortal. My mother named me that after watching my father get delivered. From what Gran told me, she wilted like a flower since then. She wilted even more after she named me, and eventually got delivered when I was only a year old.
So it was only Gran and me growing up. She use to explain to me that it was so

Tuesday, June 7, 2011
© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
SUWANEE -- A certain amount of competition among teammates can be a healthy thing.
That's the way it was among the Peachtree Ridge girls tennis team this spring, with junior Jessica Northcutt and senior Mary Jeremiah competing with each other to see who would represent the Lions at No. 1 singles throughout the season.
While the pair switched back and forth throughout the season, coach Chrissie Bolt ultimately selected the younger Northcutt for Line 1 for the Class AAAAA state tournament run.
Both Northcutt and Jeremiah responded well by helping the Lions to a second straight Region 7-AAAAA championship and second straight trip to the Class AAAAA state quarterfinals.
But it was Northcutt's rapid improvement from an already strong sophomore season a year ago to an even more dominant junior campaign that made her the Daily Post's 2011 Girls Player of the Year.
"Jessica's really improved in the past year," Bolt said of Northcutt, who went 13-1 this spring, with many of those wins coming in straight sets. "As she gets older and more mature, she's getting smarter on the court. You can tell she's thinking more on the court and developing strategy.
"And her aggressiveness and finishing off points and setting things up have all improved this year. She's being more aggressive at the net, and when she gets up on someone, she's not going to let up."
While Northcutt admits the internal competition with Oklahoma State-bound Jeremiah helped her become more aggressive this season, she also said the support from her senior teammate also helped her make the transition to No. 1 singles.
"We decided (on the switch, in part) together," Northcutt said. "I try not to think about it as being a big responsibility. It's just like playing any other line. It counts as much as any other. I think we decided it because we knew it would put me at No. 1 if we made it to (play) Walton (at state), and that's what we were hoping for.
"Emily Zabor is (Jeremiah's) best friend, and they don't really like playing each other. I prefer playing Emily more than Mary does. So, we thought it would be best if we made it to Walton."
Northcutt played Zabor tough, especially in taking the Walton No. 1 to a second-set tie-breaker before falling 6-0, 7-6, though it wasn't enough to derail the Raiders from their eighth straight state title -- which they won less than two weeks later with a win over Norcross -- and their 147th consecutive match win.
However, Bolt believes that match -- the only loss for Northcutt in 14 varsity matches this season -- and the second straight elimination at the hands of Walton will only add to both her competitive fire, as well as the rest of the Lions.
"I definitely got to see some fire in her that I hadn't seen before," Bolt said of Northcutt. "I know that was a very disappointing match for her because she played her heart out. But it just fuels her for next season."
What also fuels Northcutt is the knowledge that with Jeremiah moving on to Oklahoma State in the fall, she will not only be looked upon for continued dominance at the No. 1 singles spot.
She will also be looked to for team leadership as the Lions try to take that next step to get past the quarterfinals and perhaps challenge to finally unseat Walton as state champion.
And she says she is ready for that responsibility, though there are some things she will be working on to improve her game over the summer playing in USTA tournaments.
"I'm trying to focus on not getting nervous in matches," said Northcutt, currently ranked No. 21 in Georgia in the Girls 18s by the USTA. "I did get a little nervous (against Walton), and that hurt me in the first set, but I think I did better at overcoming that in the second.
"It was a bummer that we had to face (Walton) in the quarters. We're hoping we're going to get that far (next year), and they lose a lot of players. ... But we definitely have to just keep playing well because if we look too far ahead, it will hurt us in the regular season."

While I would have loved to have 30, 40 or 50 Canon megapixels a few years ago, I'm not sure the L lenses available in 2008-ish could adequately or comfortably resolve that much detail.Canon has already updated most of the L-zoom range in preparation for higher megapixels. With the 100-400mm already officially on the, we now only await the ultrawide f/2.8 zoom update. Zooms are more versatile and cater to a bigger market than primes so get priority for R&D.
I suspect Canon is pursuing a reasonable strategy of --
1. get the lenses capable of resolving 50+ mp first,
2. then release cameras with sensors that can deliver them.
Anyway, there is no need to worry. There are already many lenses in the Canon Lineup that can resolve more than 30MP and not all of them are expensive. As an example , the cheapest lens in the Canon range, the 50mm f/1.8 can resolve close to 40MP when shooting at f/5.6. The 40mm Pancake is another good performer on a tight budget. Top-of-the-line lenses like the 300mm f/2.8 and the 600mm f/4 could deliver around 50MP of detail given a 54MP sensor.
This is not simply me pull numbers out my ass, it is based on a work in progress. I won't go into my methodology, but you could get an idea of which lenses are good for high res by looking at APS-C crops at TheDigitalPicture website. The 60D is an 18MP body, which when extrapolated to full frame is 46MP. Lenses with good corner performance on full frame hold up to the the APS-C crops. Lenses with bad Chromatic Aberration and soft corners on full frame are not "future proof" and will likely be replaced in the next couple of years.
That sounds like a good objective assessment of the practical issues. I'm expecting the remaining older L prime lenses (the 35 & 50) to be updated soon. It also tallies with word from a professional photographer that there is a high megapixel camera in the wild being tested, but will not be released until the full range of lenses is ready for it. I'm also hoping for replacements to the non-L 20mm and 50mm lenses amongst others. But as noted, zooms are the bigger market, and what I would choose if I had to shoot professionally under pressure.
A high 50MP sensor would give scope for a crop mode, as found on Nikon cameras. A 1.4x crop would give a 25MP image, and a 2x crop would give a 12MP image. That would be a great way to give extra reach to my 70-300L
What is bound to disappoint is the frame rate on a 50MP camera. There will be just too much data for the electronic bus to allow the 10 frames per second of the 7D2. Yet again, not everyone will be happy! Though in the next few years card and processor speeds will increase to alleviate that limitation of current electronics.

"Upheaval of Thought", Martha Nussbaum: Emotion's Intelligence
Emotion occupies a privileged yet vulnerable place in human life. We treasure it, bathe in it, and let it make decisions for us.

This is a curious thing to say, but I rather like my body. It has been quite good to me. In 2012 my feet took my hundreds of kilometres from Port Augusta to Adelaide.

It alarms me how rapidly people who want to be on the side of open-mindedness and tolerance will close their mind to, and judge, people who have different, less tolerant views.

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs fan scores two home run balls
PHONEIX -- Cameron Wright caught one homer at the Arizona Diamondbacks game and immediately threw it back. No way was he giving up the second one. Not on his mother's 50th birthday.
Sitting in the left-center seats at Chase Field on Saturday night, Wright caught a two-run home run by the Los Angeles Dodgers' Yasiel Puig in the third inning and came up with a solo shot by Arizona's Chris Owings in the fifth.
Wright, of Scottsdale, caught Puig's homer on the fly and threw it back onto the field immediately.
"When we sat here I knew this was a pretty good area for a home run to come," Wright said. "I told myself that if a Dodger hits it, especially Puig, that I was immediately going to throw it back. When it was coming in the air I was ready for it. No hesitation and went for it."
There was no hesitation when he came up with Owings' homer, either.
That one came on a carom and Wright gave his fiance a little nudge so he get it.
"It was a few seats down for me and I was trying to get in front of my fianc� to make sure she wouldn't get hit and kind of elbowed her in the process," he said. "It went off the railing and stopped right in front of me feet, so I picked it up and gave it to mom."

I call this recipe 'Illegal Pot Pie' because it is such a cheat recipe that it should be illegal. It came about the other night when I was hungry for 'something' and looked in the cabinet and saw a can of Campbell's Chunky Turkey Pot Pie Soup. I then remembered that I had a pie crust in the refrigerator! I am a fan of double crusted pot pies, but you can certainly use the top crust only. You can also use any soup you would like as long as it a thick, chunky soup with some substance. OAMC friendly!

The Chemistry program is committed to academic excellence and seeks to prepare students for industry, graduate school or professional school. This is achieved through a broad-based education that includes exposure to the major areas of Chemistry (analytical, biochemistry, environmental, inorganic, organic and physical) in both the classroom setting and in the laboratory. The required undergraduate research component of the degree provides an opportunity for the investigation of an original project.
The strengths of the department include:
- small class sizes
- extensive interaction with faculty
- an award-winning student affiliate American Chemical Society chapter
- instruction that uses the latest innovations in technology, teaching pedagogy and lab equipment
- opportunities for community service
- and the possibility for internship and co-op positions.
The department also provides strong support for students majoring in other sciences as well as for nonscience majors.
The Chemistry program offers a balanced curriculum that prepares students for graduate study in the various areas of chemistry and for employment in the chemical industries. Also, the Chemistry major, coupled with selected supporting courses, provides excellent preparation for the study of medicine, dentistry and other health-related professions.
To accomplish these objectives, the Chemistry program offers two degrees: the Bachelor of Science and the Bachelor of Arts. The student majoring in Chemistry with a BS degree can choose a Traditional, Biochemistry or Environmental concentration.
The Traditional concentration provides a curriculum with strong supportive courses in mathematics and physics. This program is recommended for graduate study in chemistry or as preparation for an industrial position. The Biochemistry concentration is strongly recommended as preparation for a career in biochemistry, clinical chemistry or pharmaceutical chemistry. The program is also suitable for graduate study in biochemistry and pharmacology.
The Environmental concentration prepares the student for a career in the growing field of environmental chemistry. The student receives a strong chemistry background and takes appropriate courses in supporting disciplines. This concentration is appropriate for the student planning a career or graduate work in any of the allied environmental professions.
The results of this education are well-documented. Many alumni continue in chemistry-related fields, often attending graduate school in chemistry, biochemistry, or medicine, or pursuing careers in industrial research or the biomedical sciences. Other career choices in recent years have included patent law and forensic science.
Most of our students participate in our nationally recognized Student Affiliate Chapter of the American Chemical Society (SAACS). One main focus of the chapter is to promote chemistry to the community through science outreach activities.
