Science Club

The Science Club seeks to advance science knowledge and provide networking opportunities for Hagerstown Community College students.

Club Objectives

Community Service Project – students will conduct activities to support STEM education; may conduct another Star Gazing party.
Fundraising – Students will assist in fundraising efforts each year. Ideas so far are bake sales. Funds raised will be used to buy materials to build telescopes.
Discussion – During monthly meetings, club members will discuss topics related to, but not held exclusively to the topics of the club. These may include new advancements in new technology related to medical or aerospace fields, potentially a new discovery in science, and more. Students will build and test a working historical catapult to investigate the scientific principles behind the device.

Students will develop a community and leadership skills while exploring the scientific universe.

The elected club officers shall be President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and SGA Representative. Both full-time and part-time students are eligible to run for office. Elected officers shall perform their duties as prescribed in the by-laws of this constitution.
Nominations for officers will be made by the members of the Science Club. The nominated student may choose to accept or decline the nomination. A student may also self-nominate themselves during the election process.
Elections will be held at the beginning of each fall semester in order to allow incoming freshmen opportunities to vote and run for a leadership position. Elections shall be held within the first three weeks in September.
Candidates who wish to run for an officer position must commit to the fall semester. If they are unable to fulfill their role in the spring semester or current semester, they may opt to find a suitable replacement with the approval of the remaining members.
Each elected candidate will assume their position on the day of the election.
If at any point during the year there are vacant offices, current officers shall appoint a member of the Science Club to fulfill that position. A majority vote of club members is needed to approve the appointment.

The club will meet on the 4th Thursday of the month at 2:30 in STEM 203.
The club will only meet when the campus is open.
Each club meeting will be aimed towards promoting cooperation and positive discussion between students along with allowing students to enjoy their time in the club.
