The Hofstra University student members of the American Chemical Society hosted an event on Wednesday, March 4, during common hour, inviting students to make their own rock candy. Using sticks, food dye and liquified sugar, they were able to create their own sweet treat. Students had a scientific experience connecting with their peers over their shared love of candy.
