What is the IMPACT the Composites Institute has had over nearly 10 years? How do we gather quantitative and qualitative data to tell those stories? Mark A. Morrison, APR, Margaret Slattery, and Joe Fox are traveling from #Ohio at University of Dayton Research Institute to #Indiana at Composites Manufacturing & Simulation Center of Purdue University this week to do just that. Thank you, Brian Rice, Kevin Retz, PhD, R., R. Byron Pipes and Eduardo Barocio V. for sharing your experience and expertise in #composites. More to come!

Celebrating the power of teamwork, ideas, and learning! That’s how our #IACMI team spent the last two days in #Knoxville – all in person! We dedicated hours to planning and discussing culture and strategy. This morning, though, our youthful ambition and challenging spirit were on full display, complete with “sparks in our eyes” and “Aha” moments. Why? We immersed ourselves in our InnoCrate hands-on STEM activities designed for elementary, middle, and high school students. A special shout out to our own Uday Vaidya and his students at University of Tennessee, Knoxville’s Fibers and Composites Manufacturing Facility, who developed the InnoCrate education activities. #teamwork #empowerment #education
