Celebrate the transformative impact of MEP
For more than 50 years, the Morrill Engineering Program has sought to empower African American, Hispanic, and Native American engineering students. Open to all interested students, the program creates a support system and builds community for Grainger engineers as they navigate their college careers and realize their excellence in engineering. You know first-hand the impact of this program and we invite you to celebrate its legacy on September 20, 2025.
Start the celebration by meeting with students in roundtable discussions. Share your memories of MEP and your Illinois story. Impart your experiences and advice to students and answer their questions. Following the roundtables, we'll conclude the evening with dinner and an update about the future of MEP.
