Check out a Diversity and Inclusivity Session at the 2018 AIChE Annual Meeting
Research shows that workplace diversity can increase creativity, innovation, enhance decision making, and boost productivity. AIChE, the global home of chemical engineers is leading the charge to have an open and inclusive dialogue at the 2018 Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh (October 28 - November 2, 2018) with dedicated volunteers and meeting attendees who are students, young professionals, academics, researchers and industry executives in the profession.
The AIChE Foundation invites you to attend the societal impact sessions, join the discussion and expand your understanding of inclusive workplaces. Together, we as chemical engineers can ensure that the world is a better and safer place.
The diversity and inclusion activities are brought to you in part by the generous support of the AIChE Foundation’s Annual Fund and Doing a World of Good campaign donors.
