The NOBCChE University of Tennessee, Knoxville Chapter had the exciting opportunity to visit Eastman in Kingsport, Tennessee, for an industry engagement and professional development experience on Oct. 5, 2026.
31 participating members gained valuable exposure to careers in the chemical industry and a closer look at how science and engineering are translated into innovative solutions at an industrial scale. Participants also had the opportunity to engage with Eastman professionals, learn about their career journeys, and gain insights into the technical, collaborative, and leadership skills needed to thrive in industry.
Experiences like this are an important part of NOBCChE UTK’s mission to connect students with professionals, broaden career perspectives, and create opportunities for meaningful industry engagement.
A sincere thank you to the Eastman team for welcoming us, sharing their experiences, and investing their time in our students. We look forward to continuing to build connections between NOBCChE UTK and industry partners.
