Encouraging Global Engagement - AIChE Student Regional Conferences

At the 2020 AIChE Student Regional Conferences, the Global Societal Initiatives Committee (GSIC) will build awareness and engage chemical engineering students seeking to become involved in global humanitarian projects. It will also educate students on the need for community-level infrastructure in third world countries, provide an overview of the critical need to understand cultures worldwide and how they can get involved to make a difference. AIChE volunteers and students will collaborate in presenting the workshops and seminars. For more information on the 2020 AIChE Student Regional Conferences, click here.

K-12 STEM Ambassador Mini-Grants

The AIChE K-12 STEM Outreach Committee will develop an ambassador network connecting hundreds of K-12 students, parents and educators with AIChE professional volunteers, local sections and student chapters. The network will share educational modules, demonstrations, and activities to broaden STEM knowledge in students, introduce chemical engineering and the impact chemical engineers have on the development of innovative solutions to address societal challenges. The Committee will distribute mini grants to the network to provide supplies and resources for local K-12 STEM activities. To learn more about the AIChE K-12 Committee, click here.
