IDEAL Featured Session: A Conversation on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

This year's Meeting theme deals with the crucial partnership between academia and industry for the 21st century. In keeping with this theme, and in line with AIChE's recent adoption of the IDEAL Statement, this session will bring together critical perspectives from the Chemical Engineering community to address the importance of early adoption of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) efforts within an educational setting so that these principles can take root and last in the professional setting. The session will feature remarks from Karl W. Reid, Ed.D., CDP, Senior Vice Provost, Chief Inclusion Officer and Professor of Practice, Graduate School of Education, Northeastern University. Following his lecture, the session will open up for a dynamic panel discussion with representatives from four of AIChE's communities, followed by a networking reception.
