“I am truly excited to see where I can help the club and increase its presence,” Aishah Lee, a senior biochemistry major who is also the first undergraduate student to become president of the Auburn Chapter of NOBCChE or the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers.
