A champion for the unique materials and people with the power to change the world

MORE THAN EVER, WE NEED ENGINEERS WITH A KNOWLEDGE OF CERAMICS . . . Materials professionals use ceramics and glass to pioneer energy solutions, advance medicine, improve the environment, support manufacturing innovations, and make life better. While ceramic and glass technologies are growing in importance, there are signi cant talent and training shortfalls facing the ceramic and glass industry.

MISSION: The mission of the CGIF is to ensure that industry is able to attract and train the highest quality talent available to work with engineered systems and products that utilize ceramic and glass materials.

foundation.ceramics.org EDUCATION • TRAINING • NETWORKING OUTREACH • ADVOCACY What will the Foundation deliver? Global Internship Database Scholarships CGIF will build an international database of internships so that students CGIF will fund scholarships to students who demonstrate interest in and companies can optimize the search to nd each other and signi cantly ceramic and glass science and engineering. Key Professors at participating improve the likelihood of successful matches. colleges and universities will select quali ed students.

University – Industry Network Continuing Education and Training CGIF will establish and maintain an active network of students and Key CGIF will support the continued training of those already in industry. Professors at universities, together with champions in industry. The CGIF We will work with experts in the eld to create training modules that can will provide incentives and infrastructure so that all participants bene t be delivered in multiple formats, such as webinars, CD-based training, from their interaction. and in-person workshops.

Student Outreach Advocacy CGIF will promote ceramic and glass science and engineering to middle CGIF will advocate for continued support of the materials engineering and high school students through programming, outreach and wide distri- discipline, ceramic and glass materials in particular. While not a trade bution of teaching aids and science kits. We will participate in science fairs organization, our charter enables us to support public policy that and similar events to promote the opportunities and rewards of a career in recognizes the important contributions that engineered materials make our eld. to our way of life. A key objective of the CGIF is to highlight the value of ceramic and glass materials to those outside our own profession. How can you support the Ceramic and Glass Industry Foundation? Your nancial support will help the CGIF to: · Create awareness of the critical work done by ceramic and glass professionals worldwide. · Attract quali ed students to our eld and help them thrive. · Fill the ‘talent pipeline’ industry needs. · Support continued professional development for those in the workforce. The American Ceramic Society has committed an initial $1,000,000 matching grant to the CGIF. Every dollar you donate, up to $1 million, will double in value by ACerS’ matching grant. Also, The American Ceramic Society is providing all overhead and administrative services. Thus every dollar of your donation— plus a dollar from the matching grant—will provide scholarships and programming.
