The Indianapolis sections of AIChE and the American Chemical Society (ACS) will co-host a Career Networking event for college and high school age students at Franklin College. Attendees will be offered lunch from 11:30-12:30 PM, and have small seminars/breakout sessions for the afternoon until 4:30 or 5:00 p.m. The event will build upon careers in chemistry and chemical engineering with opportunities for women and minorities highlighted. Emphasis will be on promoting potential job growth areas for the central Indiana region such as in lifesciences, nanotechnology, fuel cells, and other areas.

The Indiana Section of ACS will be celebrating National Chemistry Week 10am to 3pm at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, and you're invited to participate! This year's theme is Earth's Atmosphere and Beyond! The AIChE Indianapolis Section has been invited to set-up a booth and exhibit. We had an exhibit last year with exhibit materials supplied by National Starch. (An AIChE Fellow visited the booth with his family and later mentioned his visit to our booth at the 2002 AIChE Annual Meeting during an awards dinner.) There is an opportunity for one person to be the main contact and organize our exhibit. Please email Alan Schmidt at aschmidt at dem.state.in.us if you are interested in helping or can provide any suggestions for experiments.
