In 2016, a gift from Suzanne C. and Duncan A. Mellichamp established a new lecture series at the School.

Duncan Mellichamp, who earned his bachelor’s degree at Georgia Tech, became a research engineer for DuPont before being recruited to help create the chemical engineering department at the University of California-Santa Barbara.

Previously the Mellichamps have endowed scholarships in Georgia Tech’s Schools of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Materials Science Engineering.
