LyondellBasell Hosts Process Safety Pilot at San Jacinto College with AIChE Foundation and CCPS

AIChE Foundation joined LyondellBasell at San Jacinto College for a three day onsite Process Safety Pilot for plant operators and technicians. This collaboration came about through continual conversation and a shared commitment by our Industry Advisory Council to improve process safety instruction for two year degree earners and positively impact work force preparedness. Together, we will create a safe, connected, and inclusive chemical engineering community Doing a World of Good.

AIChE Leadership Sets the Standard with 100% Giving

Ahead of the 2025 AIChE Annual Meeting, both the AIChE Foundation Board of Trustees and the AIChE Board of Directors achieved 100% leadership giving — only the second time in history. All 35 members prioritized AIChE in their charitable contributions, reflecting strong commitment to the mission. This milestone was driven by Jennifer Sinclair Curtis and Joseph Smith, who actively engaged both boards throughout the year. Impact stories, such as the Bee a ChemE K-12 STEM Ambassador program, highlighted how donations transform lives and careers. As 2025 closes, AIChE looks forward to sustaining this success with incoming leaders Anne O’Neal and Mike Graff.

A Decade of Impact: AIChE Foundation is Grateful for Your Generosity

For the past 10 years, the AIChE Foundation has been privileged to do a world of good alongside an incredible community of donors, partners, and supporters. What began as a vision to strengthen the chemical engineering profession and expand opportunities has grown into a movement rooted in impact, service, and possibility.

We are the philanthropic arm of AIChE, where chemical engineers give back.
