Congratulations to Purdue University’s chapter of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) for winning a national award at the AISES National Conference in November 2010. Purdue AISES was the recipient of the “Professional and Chapter Development Award,” an award selected for successfully hosting the AISES Regional Conference for Region VI in March 2010. The award criteria was based on the chapter that offers programs and opportunities for professional and leadership development for their members through chapter activities, seminars, guest speakers, etc. The award was one of three presented at the AISES National Conference in November recognizing AISES chapters across the U.S.

Special thanks to Purdue AISES members for an outstanding job of representing the university!!
