Materials Engineering and Sciences Division
Biomaterials: Graduate Student Award Session and IDEAL Discussion Panel
Wednesday, November 8, 2023 - 2:00pm to 3:00pm
The IDEAL Path concept was proposed by AIChE Director Cato T. Laurencin, who outlined his vision for creating a more fair and just society during a November 2020 meeting of AIChEâs Board of Directors. âIDEAL means Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Anti-Racism and Learning,â explains Laurencin. âPart of the impetus for the IDEAL Path is my belief that to truly have an inclusive society we must address racism, and be open to creating an environment of learning for all.â This session will be a panel discussion on the current state of the 8B community and on how we can promote IDEAL within our community. All are welcome to attend.
