What We Do
Our bi-weekly GBMs are always held at 6:30 pm and filled with important information. By attending these, you will learn about our upcoming events and be able to stay up to date with everything UF AIChE! We also try our best to get company representatives to hold information sessions at our meetings as often as possible. A missed meeting is a missed opportunity.
What do you have to lose? Come down and have a great time with our AIChE Family! What’s the worst-case scenario? Free food?
