Spotlight on the Chemistry CSARS

The Chemical Safety and Responsibilities Stewards (CSARS) at the University of Iowa is a shining example of how safety and community engagement can go hand in hand. CSARS is a dedicated group of graduate students committed to fostering a robust safety culture within the department of Chemistry. Established in 2020, CSARS operates as an American Chemical Society (ACS) recognized Graduate Student Organization (GSO) and an active member of the Joint Safety Team Network. Last year, CSARS was one of 8 graduate student organizations to be awarded a commendable rating by the Society Committee on Education through ACS.
