The NE Student Outreach Committee coordinates various student activities throughout the year. The Committee serves as a point of contact to student organizations for speakers on nuclear energy and non-proliferation topics, and to universities and area schools seeking speakers for career fairs, panel discussions, etc., or wishing to tour the Nuclear Energy exhibit during a visit to the Laboratory.
The Committee also maintains regular communications with university nuclear engineering programs in an effort to keep students and faculty informed about opportunities in the Nuclear Engineering Division for employment, student internships, etc. Read testimonials directly from students who have recently participated in the Argonne summer internships program at the Nuclear Engineering Division.
Our outreach efforts include the creation of a list of reviewed and recommended resources about nuclear energy for middle and high school students and their teachers, "Nuclear Energy Learning Resources for School."
If you are a university student, be sure to check out the "Technical Resources for University Students" sidebar on our Students page for links to online nuclide charts, course materials from MIT, and more.
