STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION CORNER ChESA The Chemical Engineering Students' Association (ChESA) is an organisation run by and for the students in the department of chemical engineering. In the year 1996, it was founded. The association's primary goal is to promote and sustain networking among current students and graduates through the ongoing technical and social activities. It plans several webinars with alumni that give students a forum to hone their technical and organisational abilities. Both the senior and junior board members of the association effectively run these activities. IIChE Chemical engineers can join the Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers, or IIChE, at the national level. It was launched as IIChE - Student Chapter at Nirma University on September 17, 2019. The organization's primary goal is to continuously promote and sustain student networking across the nation through social and technical activities. In collaboration with ChESA, it has organised several technical webinars that have aided students in learning more about the sector. Both the senior and junior board members of the organisation effectively run these activities. CHEMFLASH VOLUME 23, ISSUE 1
