Abstract
I recently attended the national American Chemical Society meeting in Las Vegas (September 1997) and previous to that in San Francisco (April 1997). While there, I visited the Student Affiliates poster sessions that were held at those meetings. I did this both out of my own interest in undergraduate research (I have had five students present posters at national ACS meetings.) and to encourage the ACS Student Affiliates presenting successful chemistry club activities to contribute to this journal.1 I had a student presenter at one of the first of these events, San Francisco in April of 1992, and the growth of the student participation has amazed me. The sessions are now split into the subdisciplines of chemistry and there are more presentations at each of these than there were altogether in 1992. This makes me wonder what has sparked this growth in undergraduate research.
