The Silicon Valley ACS’ Paving the Path (PTP) Initiative supports community college students majoring in chemistry-related fields, especially students in underrepresented groups in STEM (Science-Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), and who plan to transfer to 4-year colleges.
Would you recommend community college faculty or staff who would like to stay abreast of PTP activity that would benefit their students? Please send their names and email addresses to ptp@svacs.org.
Feel free to reach out to us with any questions, comments, or suggestions so that we can better serve our chemistry community!
