Biochemistry undergrad represents Auburn University at invitation-only ACS Leadership Institute

Victoria Cover, a sophomore majoring in biochemistry, was one of only 18 students selected to attend this year’s American Chemistry Society (ACS) Leadership Institute from Jan. 26 through 28 in Atlanta. Cover was the only student from Auburn University invited. 

“It was an incredible honor for me to represent Auburn University,” Cover said. “There were more than 250 applicants from around the world and I was proud to be the only student from Auburn at the conference.” 

The conference gave students a chance to network with the ACS CEO and council members of the ACS as well as leaders in the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, and related disciplines. The weekend empowers students in an array of leadership opportunities. 

“During the sessions, we learned to develop our leadership skills and how to lead our student chapters,” she said.
