Division Spotlight
Young Members Group
The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

Hallowell NIC
Enjoy ice cream, games (cornhole, board games), and "THE SMARTEST UNDER THE HEAVENS" chess tournament between universities. Sign-up and details of the event are provided HERE. The social theme will be simple - school spirit!
During the social, there will be lab tours of the Nuclear Engineering labs in the basement of Hallowell. Make sure to jump in one and check out the fantastic research happening!
Bar Crawl Shirts purchased during the St. Jude fundraiser can be picked up from 1 to 5 pm at Hallowell Nuclear Innovation Commons next to the registration room. A group will leave Hallowell around 9 pm to go to the bars together. The shirt suggests downtown bars for attendees (21+ with valid government-issued photo ID) to visit at their leisure.
Notes: The social event at Hallowell ends at 11 pm, and the last hotel shuttles leave Fullington Bus Station at midnight. Visiting downtown bars is voluntary and at your own risk.
