The Materials Science Club (Matsci Club) at Northwestern University seeks to serve the interests of both enrolled Materials Science and Engineering undergraduate students and those students in other majors with an interest in materials.

The Matsci Club is a joint student chapter of both ASM International (formerly the American Society of Materials) and TMS (The Metals, Minerals, and Materials Society) professional organizations.  Every year, the Matsci Club plans educational, professional and social activities. Some of the highlights include: M.E.S.S. (Matsci Exposing Students to Science) educational outreach to local grade schools, Professors as People Luncheon lecture series, plan trips to local companies, hosting ASM-TMS meetings, poster competitions and career discussions with alumni.
