Interviews with Pioneers of Diversity
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.
Read transcripts of the full interviews archived on the MAC website and see photos of the event.
Minority Affairs Committee
AIChE's Minority Affairs Committe promotes activities that will encourage the education and training of minorities in engineering and related disciplines.
Imagine what all of us can do.
A Remarkable Year of Empowering Good
