Awards

Even though Duquesne ACS is a relatively new organization, we've already managed to be recognized by the national ACS organization countless times. These awards are the result of the hard work and dedication of our enthusiastic members and extremely helpful faculty mentors. By constantly refining our policies, working with members and the outside community, and participating in volunteer events, we believe this same spirit of motivation and achievement will continue. By being a supportive member of Duquesne ACS, you are directly contributing to this continued success.
