How does one blaze a trail for others to follow, especially when you may be the only one from your hometown to think about entering nuclear engineering/science? Panelists will discuss, through their extensive experience, how outreach through nuclear science related activities as well as other efforts can help give back to the communities we call home as well as leave a path for others to follow in.
