Part 3

• What is your community

  • TCU chemistry club

    • Burton hill volunteering

    • Other forms of volunteering

• What issues are you having

  • Issue of time

    • Classes interfere with activities like the burton hill volunteering

  • Issue of assumption

    • People could assume me being a part of it makes me a nerd

• Who did you interview

  • My friend who is one of the chairs-Audrey dolt

• Why is this important

  • Helps lower stress especially to those new to college

  • Proves that you can laugh about something that stresses you out

  • Able to meet new people through activities

  • Good for freshman because they can make new friends

  • Green chemistry environmentally friendly

  • Volunteer activities are beneficial for society

The article summarizes the chemistry club at John Tyler community College. Much like the TCU Chemistry Club it involves green chemistry by teaming up with the Virginia section of the American Chemical society to celebrate Earth day. 

For Earth day, the club set up an event that displayed water and its impact on the world. Children and adults did many activities: collecting dirty water then used a filtration system to clean it, seeing the difficulties of cleaning an oil spill, learning about the breakdown of oil via fungi or bacteria, figuring out the difference between biodegradable and non-biodegradable substances that end up in landfills, seeing how aquatic pollutants seep into the soil, meeting a paleontologist, seeing dinosaur remains found in the US, and making a beach in a bottle to learn the process of erosion and how ocean waves and currents work.

• Interview other members of your community

• maybe narrow in on one aspect of it

Power analysis:

• How can my community grow?

  • The community can grow by further reaching out to people around campus as well as making new connections for service hours

• How does it help?

  • It helps minimize the stress, which is a big issue in society, of pre-med students by going through chemistry in a goofy manner and setting up fun activities in Sid Richardson.

• How does it restrict others?

  • It always has specific times it meets and specific times for volunteer hours, which do not always map up with people’s class schedules
