CHED ExComm approved almost $100K in CHED member scholarships for #BCCE2026. & while our role is often fiduciary, the ability to give back to CHED (via webinars (POGIL, Early Career Chemists, etc) or communication & solidarity in hard times or scholarships) is a breath of fresh air. #ACSFall2025

A banner titled “Conference Contexts” displays six circular icons, each representing one of the guiding ideas for BCCE 2026. From left to right: Building and maintaining communities of practice – represented by a network of connected dots. Centering authentic phenomena – represented by a magnifying glass. Educating for a sustainable future – represented by a globe with a thermometer. Engaging in scholarly teaching – represented by a graduation cap. Fixing systems, not people – represented by a gear. Integrating technology effectively – represented by a computer chip. Each icon alternates in color between pink and teal, with bold black text beneath each.
