Chemists Without Borders Receives Award from the American Chemical Society

Congratulations to Chemists Without Borders for receiving an American Chemical Society P3 Award! The purpose of the Partners for Progress and Prosperity (P3) Award is to encourage and recognize successful and exemplary partnerships. These partnerships must result in impactful outcomes that improve the public perception and appreciation for chemistry, promote career advancement opportunities, support entrepreneurship in the chemistry enterprise, advance advocacy efforts with government and thought leaders, or support STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education or research. Chemists Without Borders is being recognized for its humanitarian work in improving water quality and science education in South Asia and Africa. We are grateful to all our volunteers, past and present, and the ACS for their support and partnership! We accepted the P3 award at the Central Regional ACS meeting in Covington, Kentucky.
