History
On December 5, 1963 twenty-one professors from 14 universities met in a Chicago hotel, acted on a motion and formed the organization that we know today as the Association of Environmental Engineering & Science Professor, AEESP. This original group of professors deliberated on and adopted bylaws and elected a board. To commemorate the 25th year anniversary of the organization, the Board of Directors commissioned a report to describe its history.
