The Illinois Host Program provides you and your parents/guardians with a number of opportunities to learn more about our exciting program and meet current/future Chemical Engineering Students. This two-day program is sponsored by the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (ChBE) and organized by the current students of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers - University of Illinois Student Chapter (Illinois AIChE). Illinois AIChE is a registered student organization that promotes the professional and personal development of chemical engineering undergraduate students. While you are here, you will attend lectures, learn how you can be involved in Illinois AIChE, tour academic and research labs, meet department faculty, network with current and admitted students, go on tours of campus and more! We know it might be hard for parents to take off work on a Friday, so we still encourage you to think about joining us for part of Friday or just Saturday. Please note that Illinois AIChE will not be providing any meals, transportation, nor housing on Friday night. However, we will have current students eager to suggest and show you the best places around campus for every meal. If you would like to know more about this program, please check out our FAQ page.
