Chemistry Society, SS, HKUSU is an academic society in the University of Hong Kong. Founded in 1998, the Society has strived to serve the Members with enthusiasm and commitment. Stepping into its 14th year of establishment, the new Cabinet “Catenation” would do nothing less than continuing this spirit of service, while endeavoring to achieve the objectives of the Society, which are 1) to promote the interest in the study of Chemistry; 2) to enhance the communication between the Department and Members; 3) to maintain the internal coherence among Members; and 4) to represent the interest of all Members.

“Catenation” has a symbolic meaning of unity and strong bonding. With the implementation of the new 4-year undergraduate curriculum, assisting freshmen in adapting to university life would be one of the greatest challenges the Society faces in the coming year. The need to enhance internal coherence among Chemistry students is most evident. As an academic society, it is also the Society’s responsibility to promote the interest in the study of Chemistry. The Cabinet’s major focuses this year, therefore, would be to strengthen the positive peer relationship among Members; as well as to popularize the knowledge of Chemistry.
