"As a faculty advisor, I am grateful for the opportunity to mentor my student chapter officers and help them grow from their experiences. I have connected them to the industry professionals we meet through tours and research projects, and they have successfully obtained internships and positions. These students are maintaining their memberships as they transition from academia into industry."
Simin Nasseri, PhD, Faculty Advisor, Kennesaw State University, SME Member Since 2018
