The History of the ACS “On the Road” Mildred Perry Memorial Lecture

Upon reflection of the recent history of the Pittsburgh Local Section, one would see Millie Perry’s significance. She served as Chair of the section and General Chair of the Central Regional Meeting in Pittsburgh in 2003. She was also instrumental in establishing the ACS “On the Road” Lecture to make our section’s large geographical footprint feel more united. Read Millie’s bio and how this lecture came to be, written by John Baltrus. We miss you every day, Millie!

Thank you to member Dr. John Baltrus for this contribution.
