Anna attended both the General Meeting and Outreach Committee Meeting in January. She also went to multiple professional events, and stayed behind afterwards to help clean up after one of them.
Franklin was very active in the Outreach Committee, and played a big role in the creation of the powerpoints that were used to present to high school students over winter break.
Dilan demonstrated great attendance, enthusiasm, and dedication at many of ANS's events throughout November.
During Nuclear Science Week, Nick showed excellent attendance at ANS's booth on the quad. Nick also stepped up to be a driver for the Curtis Apple Orchard social.
Nate Reid showed initiative and leadership when he stepped up to lead this year’s ANS Student Conference Proposal. He demonstrated leadership during ANS’s trip to Argonne National Labs, and has exhibited great attendance at ANS general meetings.
