At our last Alumni Night, Prof. John Pellegrino (ChE BE ‘73) shared his career as a timeline, breaking down the different stages, milestones, and turning points along the way.
From early career decisions to how his path evolved over time, his talk gave a real look into what a career in chemical engineering can become.
He also talked about what working in industry vs. academia actually looks like, and what skills are worth starting to build now depending on where you want to go.
Thank you for such an open and insightful conversation.
