Message from the Section Chair
Welcome to the Ole Miss Local Section
Home Page. We are located in Oxford, Mississippi and are one of the 189 Local Sections
of the American Chemical Society. ACS Local Sections promote public awareness
of chemistry by being involved in community outreach programs and by working
with students of chemistry and science. We hope to encourage an interest
in the chemical sciences.
If you are interested in becoming
a member of ACS, please go to http://www.chemistry.org/membership/join.html
for more information. If you are already an ACS member and would
like to join our Local Section, please call or e-mail me (see Local Section
