On Saturday, October 7, 2017, the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering hosted its fifth Alumni Annual Event. CBE has been taking the initiative to reunite alumni with the department, while creating a community among students, faculty, and alumni.
During the reception, Dr. Cameron Abrams provided an overview and update of the department, citing all of this year's efforts to generate more alumni initiatives, including the mentoring program, the annual event, and the spring panel discussion. Following his presentation, Dr. Abrams presented Ed Andjeski '87 with the Alumni of the Year award, noting his outstanding engagement efforts and commitment to the department.
Interim Dean, Giuseppe R. Palmese, delivered the keynote lecture on bio-based materials as building blocks for new classes of polymers with unique performance characteristics inspired by nature. The presentation spanned 20 years of research and commercialization activities.
The next alumni and student event on Saturday, April 28, 2018, will be a panel discussion, "Leadership in Chemical Engineering". For more information, contact Jenn Bing, 215-895-1855, jlb453@drexel.edu.
