Samson Solomon is a 3rd year chemical engineering major at UCR. Samson is highly interested in pursuing research as an undergraduate and his passion for research, with the added experience he has gained in labs has intrinsically motivated him to pursue a career focused in research and development. He joined AICHE, as a means of networking and gaining insightful professional help. In his time at AICHE, he was part of the VP external committee, responsible for arranging corporate presentations at general meetings, fundraising for t-shirt designs, plant tours and emailing companies for sponsorship for current research projects for the western regional conference. Currently as an active member in NSBE, Samson has grown in his networking skills, and taking advantage of the many opportunities like the recent Annual National Conference held in Boston that provides minorities, like him, ways to succeed in the engineering field.

Guthrie Price is a third year Computer Science major at the University of California, Riverside (UCR). His hobbies include the ancient Chinese board game Weiqi, which he has competed in nationally, reading science fiction, and making small projects on an Arduino. While attending a tournament for Weiqi at a young age he met his mentor who introduced him to Computer Science. He attended Moreno Valley Community College before transferring to UCR where he began working for the Moreno Valley College STEM Mobile Innovation Center (SMIC). The SMIC is a mobile lab dedicated to STEM outreach which goes to K-12 schools to promote STEM related pathways through science demonstrations and activities. At UCR Guthrie is a Supplemental Instructor for Computer Science courses and a member of the Gamma Beta Phi honors society. He is looking forward to the trip to China to experience a new culture and make friends overseas. After graduation he plans to either pursue graduate research in artificial intelligence and machine learning or enter the computer security industry.
