Starting April 2020, Ms. Emily Shedlarski, Simpson begins her 3-year term as a Board Member on the Foundry Educational Foundation (FEF) National Board of Directors. Ms. Shedlarski stated, “I am excited at the opportunity to give back to FEF, the metal casting industry, and help build our future leaders to strengthen our industry.”
Ms. Shedlarski shares how FEF has impacted her life. “I attended FEF’s College Industry Conference [CIC] as a UAB Materials Engineering student in 2013. Prior to the event, I was planning on continuing my career in steel after working for Nucor for over a year as an intern. I received a scholarship from FEF and mentoring from many professors like Dr. Amber Genau, Dr. Robin Foley, and FEF Key Professor Dr. Charlie Monroe. After CIC and time spent in the lab with Dr. Monroe, I was convinced to shift gears and decided to start my career in a green sand foundry.”
