Congratulations to Our 2023 Scholarship Winner!

The Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the SCC (MACC SCC) is deeply committed to its core mission of advancing cosmetic science education through several key initiatives aimed at both current professionals and the next generation of industry leaders:

• Scholarship Programs: As highlighted by the award to Maxine Tomlinson, a primary focus is providing financial support to dedicated students pursuing degrees in cosmetic science and related fields. This investment helps foster future talent in the industry.
• Educational Events & Symposia: We regularly organize technical meetings, webinars, and symposiums (such as a recent "Green Technology Symposium") that feature presentations from leading scientists, academic experts, and industry professionals. These events allow members to stay current on the latest research, raw materials, formulation strategies, and regulatory developments.
• Career Development: The chapter hosts Career Days (for example, at local universities like Howard University) to bridge the gap between students and the industry. These events connect emerging talent with companies for networking, mentorship, and career opportunities.
• Outreach to Students: MACC SCC actively engages with undergraduate and graduate students across our region, providing them with resources like links to degree programs and information on specialized courses to help them launch successful careers in the cosmetic and personal care field.
• Networking: By hosting both technical and social events, the chapter facilitates crucial networking among formulators, raw material suppliers, consultants, and academics, ensuring a robust environment for knowledge-sharing and professional growth.
