This year, AIChE’s Minority Affairs Committee (MAC) marks 25 years of leadership in promoting diversity and inclusion in AIChE and the chemical engineering profession.
MAC has a long and proud history of providing scholarships for underrepresented minority students, individualized mentoring programs, and distinguished professional awards for minority faculty and industry members.
Join us as we celebrate the committee’s significant achievements and set our sights on an even brighter future for MAC, AIChE, and the profession.
