Dear colleagues,
I am sending this email to inform you of certain initiatives of the Young Professionals (YP) program of AIChE and specifically the CAST division.
Please read below on how to join the YP community, and learn about events during the upcoming AIChE Annual meeting. Also, please forward this email to any of your students and colleagues, who you think should be aware of this initiative.
Who should be a member of the AIChE Young Professional Community? Any AIChE member under the age of 35, who has graduated from an undergraduate institution (for example: Masters students, PhD students, Academics, or Industry Professionals)
The YP community of AIChE has been growing over the past years and has created several opportunities for awards, volunteering, networking and professional development. As a CAST community, we want to ensure that our CAST-YP members are aware of these opportunities. At the same time, we want to organize CAST-specific YP events, to create a community and foster interactions between students, young industrial leaders and academics.
To learn more about the AIChE YP community and join as a member, please visit the following website: https://www.aiche.org/community/sites/committees/young-professionals/join-aiche-yp
