WNC Section Professional and Educational Activities

Supporting Western North Carolina Universities, Colleges, Schools, and Industry

We offer a new virtual platform to better serve our technical, professional, and educational communities. Our geographical region inhibits many from attending in-person events. Now we offer online events, presentations, and vlogs highlighting your achievements and experiences.

Our goal includes regularly scheduled presentations. You have the opportunity to define the schedule to meet your needs and planning. You may choose to host a hybrid online and in-person onsite event, such as a plant tour.
