Interviews with AIChE MAC's Pioneers of Diversity

The AIChE Pioneers of Diversity Awards

The Pioneers of Diversity Awards were conceived to coincide with the AIChE Minority Affairs Committee’s (MAC’s) 25th Anniversary celebration, held during the November 2015 AIChE Annual Meeting. The awards honor the career achievements and leadership contributions of chemical engineers who have shaped MAC’s progress and promoted inclusiveness within AIChE and the chemical engineering profession.

In connection with the 25th anniversary events, AIChE conducted interviews with the MAC Pioneer Award recipients. Many of the interviews were recorded on video. This video contains excerpts from six of the interviews, featuring testimonials from some of MAC’s most prominent leaders and advocates: James Wei, Henry Brown, Otis Shelton, Lance Collins, Christine Grant, and Gerry Lessells.
