ACS 2016 Student Convention

ACS > Get Involved > ACS Conventions > ACS 2016 Student Convention
UPDATE (1/21/16): 
We are so sad to announce that the 2016 ACS Student Convention is cancelled. The North Carolina governor has declared a state of emergency and we have to act accordingly to make sure that all students, staff, speakers, and faculty are safe.
Please take the time today to call your airline/transportation provider ASAP to seek a refund. Durham is in the affected weather zone and many airlines have announced that they will offer credits and refunds. We will follow up next week with further information about reimbursement, should these attempts be unsuccessful.
