The AIChE-CSR will host a meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 16, at the Ruth Patrick Science Education Center in Aiken, SC.

Dr. Timmons is the Director of Industrial and Strategic Partnerships at SRNL. Dinner is $20 per person. Please RSVP to Riya Makharia (riya.makharia@srnl.doe.gov) by COB Thursday, Jan 11th with your choice of main entrée.
Meeting summary: Strong partnerships are critical to success no matter the industry. Solving technical problems, establishing STEM degree programs, or capitalizing on major initiatives like the Advanced Manufacturing Collaborative often require the expertise and experience of a variety of people. Dr. Timmons has helped to build strong partnerships throughout his 22 years in higher education and continues to do so in his new position with Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL). He will share his guiding principles for partnership building as well as some examples from his time at USC Aiken, SRNL, and… from the pickleball court. He also hopes to hear some of your own successes and challenges!
