This paper will serve as a brief introduction to Prof. Tim Long’s symposium in honor of his receiving the 2022 Paul Flory Polymer Chemistry Education Award.  Tim has effectively integrated research leadership with teaching excellence spanning a diverse set of communities, from dedication to the undergraduate researcher to training the next generation polymer innovators to ACS short courses for life-long learning for the industrial scientist.  Influencing multidisciplinary education, he has led two polymer science-based institutes: Macromolecules Innovation Institute at Virginia Tech and Sustainable Macromolecular Materials and Manufacturing at Arizona State University.  His exemplary and multifaceted approach to polymer science education makes him a worthy recipient of the ACS Paul J. Flory Polymer Education Award.
