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 Engineering 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.

2008 ANS National Student Conference @ Texas A&M University
Argonne participated in the annual American Nuclear Society National Student Conference (Feb. 28-Mar. 1st, 2008, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas). Conference attendees had several opportunities to meet and talk with us:
- In conjunction with the Chemical Sciences and Engineering (CSE) and Mathematics and Computer Science (MCS) divisions of Argonne, NE organized and conducted a fast reactor workshop with the title "Global Nuclear Energy Partnership and the Role of Fast Reactors". Several NE staff members made presentations at the workshop. See below for details.
- NE and CSE presented a career booth at the conference Career Fair. For those who came by the booth, thanks for your interest and for stopping by, we hope that you enjoyed your visit!
- NE's representatives were interviewed by Rod Adams of The Atomic Show, a podcast blog on nuclear energy issues. Rod also interviewed representatives of other organizations which -like us- had a booth at the career fair of the ANS conference.
- Listen to The Atomic Show #085-1 - ANS Student Conference Career Fair Part 1 (38m46s); the segment including the interview with the Argonne staff members starts around minute 27 of the podcast.
- Listen to a further set of interviews with other organizations at The Atomic Show #085-2 - ANS Student Conference Career Fair Part 2 (31m09s).
