Abstract Scope |
The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) classically serves as an intersection point of academia and industry, giving experts opportunities to expand their expertise while simultaneously helping other experts expand their own expertise in kind. It is a complexly intertwined yet beneficial set of relationships that supports technology transfer, that improves or reinvents the state of the art, and that thrives on collegiality. Via his volunteer work through TMS, Professor Barry Welch has consistently and tirelessly exemplified all of these qualities and has routinely and positively influenced the work and workforce of the worldwide aluminum industry. This presentation will provide personal reflections on some specific instances of Prof. Welch’s volunteer activities that have made TMS a better professional society and that have elevated the field and the good of the order in the process. |
