During 2008, ACS President Bruce E. Bursten is highlighting energy development, education initiatives, enhanced communication of the centrality of chemistry, and international cooperation between chemists and chemical engineers. At the Philadelphia meeting there is a symposium on global energy challenges and opportunities on Monday afternoon. Beginning Sunday afternoon with a special symposium, and continuing throughout the week, we will celebrate the centrality of chemistry through the disciplines of agriculture and food chemistry, industrial and engineering chemistry, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry, as we observe the centennial of the divisions representing those disciplines. Other symposia sponsored by the president include the 40th Anniversary of Project SEED and the Astellas Foundation Award Lectures in Transitional Chemistry, a new national award. It promises to be an exciting time. These and other events that are cosponsored by the ACS President are listed.

The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.
Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students.
Occasionally, collections of JCE back issues become available for donation to individual teachers, schools, or libraries. JCE matches collections with interested recipients. Recipients pay shipping costs or pick up the collection.
