Location: The Tower at Iacocca Hall at Lehigh’s Mountaintop Campus
Cocktail Hour - 6pm
Dinner - 7pm
Dr. Lord’s Presentation - 8pm

We’ve got another exciting meeting taking place from 6 to 9 PM on Thursday, 27 May, at Lehigh University again. Our guest speaker will be Dr. Peter Lord, Director of Process Engineering at The Hershey Company, and he’ll be talking about the Hershey plant in China. His talk is officially titled, “Global Engineering Chocolate Operations in Northern China, from Design to Plant Startup.” This is something most, if not all, of us can relate to as having experienced at some point in our careers but the allure here is that it’s about manufacturing chocolate. How cool is that?

Email Mike Popule for more information on the meeting.

The Lehigh Valley Professionals section of Engineers Without Borders is hosting Dr. Bailor Barrie and showing the documentary “Pride of Lions” that he is featured in.  The documentary is set in Sierra Leone and shows how students and the communities are coping in their current living conditions. 

When: Friday, April 30
Where: Lehigh University, Packard Auditorium Room 101
