Purdue Chemical Engineering undergraduate student Anna Wagner has been named National Chairman of the American Institute of Chemical Engineering (AIChE) Executive Student Committee (ESC). Wagner, a senior, took over as Chair of the ESC in November and will serve in the position through May 2018.

The ESC is the only student-run committee charged with helping student members maximize their experiences with AIChE. The committee aims to improve student chapters; encourage inter-chapter communication; act as a liaison between student chapters and AIChE staff; motivate student chapter members to be active in AIChE; and encourage student chapter members to continue their relationship with AIChE beyond graduation. Committee members also work closely with the Student Chapters Committee (SCC) and Young Professionals (YP) to support the interests of AIChE student members.

 “This is an exciting time to work with the ESC,” Wagner said. “AIChE is seeing exponential growth of Student Chapters worldwide and I’m looking forward to connecting chemical engineering students around the world to help prepare students for an increasingly global industry upon graduation.”

Executive Student Committee responsibilities also include communicating with all student chapter presidents in the region on a monthly basis with a focus on improvement and also leading the Presidents Meetings at Regional and International Conferences.
