Students Network at AIST Young Professionals Night

CIVS graduate students had the opportunity to attend the AIST Kickoff Dinner Meeting.

On November 8th, about 30 PNW students attended AIST Midwest Member Chapter Annual Young Steel Professionals’ Night at the Avalon Manor in Merrillville. Five young engineers shared their experiences in steel companies. Member Chapters and Technology Committees allow students to meet peers and experienced professionals that have a wealth of knowledge to share.

“In order to keep working towards the mission of advancing the iron and steel industry, we must continue to support the rising generation of steel industry professionals. The Young Professionals of AIST are those that fall within the bracket of 30 years of age or younger. The AIST Foundation sponsors a free first year of membership and a discounted membership every year after that until the Young Professional turns 30. “
