Under her capable leadership, this long-standing program of the Section was revitalized in 2018 and continues to grow.  \nMidland Section ACS Project SEED Background  \nThe Midland ACS Project SEED program is a transformative initiative designed to provide high school students with diverse social economic backgrounds with hands-on research experiences in the chemical sciences. By partnering with local industries and academic institutions, the program offers students the opportunity to work alongside professional chemists and gain valuable insights into the field of chemistry. This experience not only enhances their scientific knowledge and skills but also inspires them to pursue careers  \nin chemistry and related disciplines. The program has grown significantly over the years, now supporting 12-14 students annually, and continues to play a crucial role in fostering the next generation of chemical professionals.  \nMidland hosted its first SEED students (two students) in 1978. For many years, Midland had a very robust program, but due to legal concerns with hosting high school students in an industrial setting and budget constraints, along with increasing stipends, the program began to shrink in the early 2000s. Despite these setbacks, Midland maintained an active, albeit smaller, program for years by hosting one to three students each summer.
