The chapter was formed in 2009 and has really grown since then. Current officers are: Paula Gregory, Ph.D. (president), Stephania Cormier, Ph.D. (past-president), Donna Neumann, Ph.D. (secretary) and Nicole LeCapitaine, Ph.D. (treasurer).
The most recent activities of the chapter were to co-host a Welcome Reception for new women leaders within the LSU School of Medicine (Drs. Weiss, Young and Coleman) on October 5; presenting hands-on science activities at the Louisiana Children's Museum program called “Fetch! Super Science Saturday: Chemistry” on October15th;and sponsoring a team to participate in the Komen Race for the Cure on October 22. Information about the Chapter and its activities is on our website, feel free to contact the officers as well:

Disclaimer:
These faculty activities have been posted at the request of our colleagues or affiliates because they were considered to be of potential interest to the SOM general faculty. These activities do not necessarily represent “officially” sponsored LSUHSC activities. However, we are hopeful that this web page will help build a greater sense of community and remind us of how wide-ranging the faculty interests and service activities are. JL
