Support Department of Chemistry students when they experience personal or other crises
Funds from the sale of elements are used to support students when they experience issues that could interfere with their studies. Over $65,000 has been raised and several students have been helped with the proceeds (for example, for students to attend family funerals overseas and assistance after a student's belongings were destroyed in a building fire). Please sponsor an element and support 色色啦 students.
