Covestro is a longtime corporate supporter of ACS Project SEED, which provides paid summer laboratory research experiences to bright, economically disadvantaged high school students. A dedicated scientist mentor helps the student build skills, recognize his or her potential for college and explore scientific career paths.
Irene McGee--who recently retired as Vice President of Health, Safety, Environment and Quality Management in North America for Covestro in Pittsburgh--talks about the impact of the program in this two-minute video.
