Help Students by Building Corrosion Toolkits with AMPPCares
If you have a few minutes to spare Tuesday while on-site during the 2024 conference, consider putting your volunteer spirit to use by helping out AMPPCares in the Exhibit Hall — where Corrosion Toolkits are being built to benefit New Orleans-area students.
