2009 AIChE North-Central Regional Conference
AIChE's Regional Student Conference is an annual event that attracts the best and brightest engineering students from colleges and universities across the North Central region. The goal of this event is to provide an opportunity for serious-minded students to come together to share their technical knowledge, plan for the future, and meet with industry professionals. Over 200 students from various North Central universities are expected to attend.
IIT AIChE will be hosting the 2009 North-Central Regional Conference on February 27 to March 1, 2009. We are expecting around 200 students to attend, and at this point we are looking for help from companies that would be willing to give us financial sponsorship, or help in other ways such as giving plant tours Friday afternoon, attending the career fair, judging or sponsoring one of the competitions, or sending a speaker to our Industry Workshops on Saturday. If you, your company, or a company you know would like to help in any way, please contact either Jennifer Guilfoyle at jguilfoy@iit.edu, our student leader organizing the conference, or our faculty advisor, Don Chmielewski, at chmielewske@iit.edu.

We are the Illinois Institute of Technology student chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. We strive to promote Chemical Engineering and to provide opportunities to Chemical Engineering students.
To this end, we hold weekly meetings every Thursday in Perlstein Hall room 108 from 12:50 until 1:40. Our meetings consist of FREE PIZZA and a weekly speaker during our Spring and Fall Speaker Series, who comes in to talk to us about subjects of interest to Chemical Engineering students.
