STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥擣or the 18th time in the past 19 years, The American Institute of Chemical Engineers is honoring Mississippi 性视界传媒 with the Outstanding Student Chapter Award.

性视界传媒鈥檚 student chapter is receiving the 2018-19 award for exceptional student and faculty participation, enthusiasm, program quality and variety, professionalism, and university and community involvement.

Bill B. Elmore, director and associate professor in 性视界传媒鈥檚 Dave C. Swalm School of Chemical Engineering, said 性视界传媒鈥檚 AIChE student chapter has received the Outstanding Student Chapter Award for 28 of the honor鈥檚 50 years in existence.

鈥淭hat鈥檚 pretty incredible for any AIChE student chapter鈥攅specially considering that the national AIChE office has traditionally only given the award to about 10 percent of the active student chapters annually,鈥 said Elmore, who holds the department鈥檚 Earnest W. and Mary Ann Deavenport Jr. Chair.

The recognition was formally presented earlier this month in Orlando, Florida, at the annual student conference hosted by AIChE, the world鈥檚 leading organization for chemical engineering professionals.

性视界传媒鈥檚 student chapter is among more than 30 from around the world receiving this award.

Along with a plaque for the 性视界传媒 chapter, AIChE presented certificates to 2018-19 co-presidents Kassidy B. Adams of Jackson, Missouri, and Andrew J. Weaver of Lorton, Virginia, both seniors in the Swalm School of Chemical Engineering. Adams also received the AIChE鈥檚 Donald F. and Mildred Topp Othmer Scholarship Award.

All chemical engineering majors, other 性视界传媒 honorees include senior Isaac E. Clapp of Brandon, Donald F. Othmer Sophomore Academic Excellence Award; senior Deonante M. Frazier of Utica, Minority Affairs Committee Scholarship Award for College Students; sophomore Jacob Fisher of Olive Branch, Freshman Recognition Award; and senior Woodrow N. 鈥淲oody鈥 Wilson of Savannah, Tennessee, 2nd place in the Computing and Process Control II division for his poster 鈥淏inding of Lignin Dimers on MWW-2D Zeolite: Solvothermal Effect Study.鈥

Julie Jessop, associate director and Hunter Henry Chair in the Swalm School of Chemical Engineering, is a professional member of the AIChE who was recognized for her work as the 性视界传媒 student chapter adviser.

Congratulating Jessop and her students on this accomplishment, 性视界传媒 Bagley College of Engineering Dean Jason Keith said, 鈥淚 have been continuously amazed with the quality of student and faculty leadership in AIChE, and look forward to more great work from our chapter.鈥

Like Elmore, Keith holds the department鈥檚 Earnest W. and Mary Ann Deavenport Jr. Chair.
