Chemical Engineering Club
Chem Club is officially known as the Undergraduate Chemical Engineering Council. As the student council for all Chemical Engineering students, Chem Club bridges the gap between the student body, the chemical engineering faculty, and the rest of the Skule community. Chem Club also ensures that each Chem Eng student’s academic, professional, social experience is the highest quality it can be. Chem Club hosts many social events throughout the year including an Annual Dinner Dance, 2 Book Smokers, a talent show to raise money for charity, video game tournament, movie nights, pub nights, the iron ring party, the infamous Wallburger BBQs, ski trips, and many more fun events. Chem Club is also responsible for the chemical engineering undergraduate common room located at WB238. Chem Eng students are free to come by and play foosball, video games, or grab a snack or drink from one of the vending machines! Chem club is reachable by email at chemclub@skule.ca.
History
The Undergraduate was founded in 1958 and has been providing a wide array of high quality programs and initiatives to Engineering students at the University of Toronto (U of T) ever since.
