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.

Taking shape: Fusion energy ecosystems built with public-private partnerships
It’s possible to describe fusion in simple terms: heat and squeeze small atoms to get abundant clean energy. But there’s nothing simple about getting fusion ready for the grid.
Private developers, national lab and university researchers, suppliers, and end users working toward that goal are developing a range of complex technologies to reach fusion temperatures and pressures, confounded by science and technology gaps linked to plasma behavior; materials, diagnostics, and electronics for extreme environments; fuel cycle sustainability; and economics.

Wondering how to develop strong mentor/mentee relationships to build a community and elevate your career?
As a mentee, a mentoring relationship can help you figure out which career path is best for you and how to achieve it, find people to advocate for you, and grow your career effectively. As a mentor, the same relationship can be incredibly rewarding and provide additional meaning to your work in knowing that you contribute to the future success of the industry. It can also help you stay up to date with the latest developments in the field. Building lasting mentoring relationships, however, can seem daunting and challenging. It shouldn’t be! Join this panel discussion to learn how to develop effective mentoring relationships that are mutually beneficial, last years on end, and fit your style. This panel will bring together mentors and mentees from academia, industry, and U.S. national laboratories to answer questions and share their stories and advice. Join the discussion, and start building stronger mentoring relationships!
