Session Chair:
John Mobley (Univ. Michigan)
Session Organizer:
Since its inception in 1994, the Nuclear Engineering Student Delegation (NESD) has provided students specializing in nuclear-related disciplines with a unique opportunity to engage directly with the political process. Participants gain hands-on experience by interfacing with policymakers and nuclear industry leaders while developing a standalone policy statement. Originally conceived in response to the proposed elimination of funding for nuclear research reactor programs in the FY 1995 budget, this independently-organized program has since broadened its scope to encompass all issues pertinent to the future of nuclear energy, policy, education, and research. This panel session will feature insights from NESD Chairs throughout the years, offering perspectives on the role, impact, and future direction of the student-centric initiative. As such, the discussion will highlight the program's influence on personal pathways and professional development.
