The American Foundry Society is proud to have been recognized with an award from the Foundry Educational Foundation for its corporate support of FEF.
AFS recently achieved the Chromium Level of FEF’s corporate giving program. AFS is committed to backing FEF’s mission of providing resources to develop technical talent for the metalcasting industry. Each year, AFS and FEF jointly present the AFS-FEF Outstanding Professor Award, which this past year was presented to Professor Russ Rosmait (Pittsburg State University). AFS also presents a scholarship with FEF, the AFS/FEF Student Technology Contest.
“AFS and FEF have a longstanding, shared commitment to attracting new employees to the metalcasting industry. We are committed to collaborating closely to advance both organizations’ important missions,” said Doug Kurkul, CEO of AFS.
FEF supports college metalcasting programs, students, and educators.
