ChE Juniors Finish 2nd at L'Oreal
Ingenious Competition


Kristin Lo, Katie Rozwadowski, and Laura Hirshfield

A team of ChE juniors, Laura Hirshfield, Kristin Lo, and Katie Rozwadowski finished 2nd out of 12 teams in the L'Oreal Ingenious Competition. The ChE team competed against 10 other teams in a problem that involved analyzing plant data and interviewing plant personnel to develop methods of minimizing L'Oreal's Franklin plant water usage. They had 24 hours to analyze the data, define the problems, determine areas of potential improvements, develop unique solutions and create a presentation to give the results. Congratulations to "Team Kalakrium" for representing the department so well on a national stage!
