Prof. Wesley Harris
A Fireside Chat and Discussion: Looking Back to Move Forward

In 2022, Professor Harris was elected to be the next Vice President of the National Academy of Engineering. This honor coincides with the 50th anniversary of Professor Harris joining the faculty of MIT. In recognition of this latest milestone in an extraordinary life of academic excellence, activism, and service, the Chicago Chapter of the Black Alumni of MIT (ChiBAMIT) is honored to host an afternoon of celebration and conversation with Professor Harris. In addition to celebrating Professor Harris, we anticipate a candid and compelling conversation as Professor Harris shares his thoughts on the critical questions facing our community and our world, informed by his unique perspective on where we are, and how we got here. As we look to the future of ChiBAMIT, informed by the thoughts and perspectives shared, this event will also serve as an opportunity to reconvene ChiBAMIT and to reconnect with Black MIT alumni across the Chicago region.
