The goal of the REACCh program is to initiate and support a year-round undergraduate research community at San Antonio College (SAC), a two-year college with a strongly diverse student population. Research projects will be  developed by collaboration between SAC and Texas State faculty. Graduate students from Texas State will be trained to supervise undergraduate research at SAC as they complete their own research projects alongside the undergraduates.  Research themes include determining the enzymatic mechanism of C-S bond cleavage, synthesizing and characterizing boron-containing polymers for specialty materials applications and synthesizing surface-modified clay platelets. The project seeks to  strengthen the research infrastructure at the community college, increase two-year college students access to research experiences and increase the quality of interactions between the two campuses.
