The Chemistry Honours Society (CHS) in the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Technology at The University of the West Indies (The UWI Mona), hosted its annual Awards and Induction Ceremony on October 2, 2025, celebrating students who demonstrated exceptional academic performance in Chemistry during the 2024–2025 academic year.

Established in 2014, the CHS was created to recognize and inspire excellence among Chemistry students. The Society encourages its members to strive for distinction, with the ultimate goal of graduating with First Class or Upper Second Class Honours. Eligibility for induction requires students to maintain a strong semester GPA and achieve A– grades or higher in at least nine (9) credits of Chemistry courses.

Membership within the Society is ranked based on the number of times a student has been inducted:

• Bronze: 1st induction
• Silver: 2nd induction
• Gold: 3rd induction
• Diamond: 4th induction
• Platinum: 5th induction
