A number of our students complement their studies at Loyola with internships and summer research programs at Loyola, National Laboratories, large research universities, and forensic laboratories. Chemistry majors are encouraged to meet with the chemistry faculty to discuss internship and summer research options tailored for their needs and career interests.
Student internships and research experiences in recent years have included:
- Science and Engineering Research Semester (SERS)
- Oak Ridge National Lab
- National Science Foundation Research Fellowships
- Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office Crime Lab

Chemistry students have the opportunity to be involved in a student-lead organization. Students participate in outreach activities and become acquainted with other chemistry students during social activities. Please contact the Chemistry & Biochemistry Department for meeting times and more information about these organizations.
American Chemical Society Student Affiliate Group (Chem Club)
The American Chemical Society (ACS) Student Affiliate Group is a congressionally chartered independent membership organization which represents professionals at all degree levels and in all fields of chemistry and sciences that involve chemistry. The Student Affiliate Group at Loyola is comprised of chemistry majors, minors and professors.
Our chapter works to provide everything our students need to support them in their studies, from rewarding service opportunities to friendship-building social events. We take particular interest in working with kids and grade schools in our area to cultivate interest in the sciences. We put on demonstrations at local schools and museums that not only are fun and engaging but also work to create a sense of accessibility to the sciences.
Stop by the main office for the Chemistry & Biochemistry Department (MO129) to contact the student leaders for Loyola's ACS Student Affiliates group, or contact the Faculty advisor of the club, Dr. Amelia Neuberger, at neuberge@loyno.edu.
