    Internal Vice President

    Hi, everyone! My name is Maddy Jaworek, and I am a 5th-year senior in Chemical Engineering. I first joined AIChE in Spring 2022 as a member of the Philanthropy Committee, later moving to Outreach, where I served as a Committee Member and then as Committee Head. My favorite part of AIChE has been the friendships I've built, along with the professional opportunities it has offered. Outside of AIChE, I enjoy crafting (crochet, painting, drawing, etc.), watching movies and TV, doing trivia, staying active with workouts and dance, and spending time with friends.

    My name is Andrew Dyba and I am a junior in chemical engineering. I joined AIChE my freshman year in the philanthropy committee and then became the Industrial relations committee head after that. The best part about AIChE is the close friendships I have made with other chemical engineers. Outside of school I enjoy watching movies, building legos, and other random projects.
