During Spring 2021, the Nuclear Science and Security Consortium will be hosting a speaker series featuring recent program alumni. Alumni have gone on to critical and exciting careers working in the US DOE National Laboratories or in other government organizations that are maintaining national and international nuclear security.
We invite you to attend to learn more about the work of these individuals and hear directly from them how current students can work towards similar careers.
To receive (infrequent) reminder emails and the call-in information for these upcoming talks, sign up here.
