Association of Green Science and Environment Protection of the College was awarded Guizhou Top 10 Student Societies, one student won the third prize in Century Gold Cup, a national cultural activities of university campus, two students got project approvals in national innovative training plan of college students and fourteen students got project approvals in provincial innovative training plan.
Over the past five years, 818 students have obtained a bachelor degree with a high employment rate. After graduation, students have achieved great employment in different sections, therefore, the College of Chemistry and Environmental Science has been awarded Advanced College in five successive years by Guizhou Minzu University.
Under the leadership of University, the College of Chemistry and Environmental Science has been on the way of becoming a college with top teachers, up to today facilities, quality education, great management and an agreeable environment.
The Motto of the College: Be knowledgeable, be suspicious, be innovative and be persistent.
