StudentOrganizations

ALPHANUSIGMASOCIETYIn 1983, a chapterof theAlphaNu SigmaSociety, thenational honor society fornuclear scienceandengineering,wasformedattheUniversityofMichigan.Approximately130undergraduateandgraduatestudentshavebeen inducted into theAlphaChapterof theAlphaNuSigmaSocietyatMichigansince1983. The honor society emphasizes nuclear education by tutoring current students and providingoutreachactivitiestoeducatehighschoolstudentsandthecommunity.Since 1993, the chapter has recognized a faculty member for contributions to undergraduate andgraduateeducation.

AMERICANNUCLEARSOCIETY

OverthepastyeartheAmericanNuclearSocietyStudentChapterattheUniversityofMichiganhasbeenfocused on rebuilding our participation and reputation. Our activities focused on social events andeducational opportunities to getmembers to join and get excited about ANS. These events includedlaser tag,documentarynights,gamenights,anda tourof the local companyNiowave.Nextyear, thegoal is to focus primarily on outreach which is why we have established a new elected position:OutreachChair.

The student chapter of ANS also sent 21 members to the student ANS conferences inPittsburgh. Students had the opportunity to be exposed to current research within the nuclearcommunityaswellasdifferentcareeropportunities.Weincentivizedpresentingresearchsoatotalof7studentspresentedresearchintheformofatalkorposter.Twoofthosestudentswonawards.

ThisyearwehavesuccessfullyexpandedparticipationandthenumberofstudentsinvolvedinANS.Thechapterisreallylookingforwardtoputtingallofitseffortsintoexpandingoutreachnextyear.

HEALTHPHYSICSSOCIETY

Formedin1992,theUniversityofMichiganStudentBranchoftheHealthPhysicsSocietywasamongthecharter groups of student branches. The Health Physics Society is dedicated to the development,dissemination,andapplicationofboththescientificknowledgeofandthepracticalmeansforradiationprotection,withanemphasisonprotectionofpeopleandtheenvironmentfromunnecessaryexposureto radiation. The student branch has been involved in a number of professional activities, parties,seminars, andpublic relationsactivities, including tours, teacher trainingworkshopsandvisits tohighschoolsforthedisseminationofbasicinformationaboutradiationandradiationhealtheffects.

THEINSTITUEOFNUCLEARMATERIALSMANAGEMENT(INMM)ThisyeartheINMMchapterattheUniversityofMichiganfocusedonincreasingouroutreachactivitiesand visibility throughout the department. Our newsletter has been a greatway to spread awarenessaboutnuclearmaterialsmanagementnews,andcommunicateeventshostedbyourchapter.Wehavealsocontinuedhostingeducationaloutreachevents,andhopetocontinuethisinthefuture.The INMMannualmeetingwasverysuccessful forus,withthreestudentspresenting,andoneofourfacultyadvisors,ShaunClarke, receiving the2016 INMMEarlyCareerAward.Thechapterorganizedatourof thetheFacility forRare IsotopeBeamsandNational SuperconductingCyclotron LaboratoryatMichigan StateUniversity justbefore thebeginningof the school year.During theacademic year thechapterhostedvisitingresearchersforseminars.Dr.UlisseGendottiofArktisDetectionspokeaboutHe-4 detection systems, Dr. Robert Haight discussed fission research at Los AlamosNational Laboratory,andDr.ScottKiffgaveanoverviewofneutrondetectionatSandiaNationalLaboratory.In order to increase the visibility of our field, the INMM chapter in collaborationwith the Society ofHispanic Professional Engineers hosted local high school students for hands-on experiments buildingcloudchambers.Weplantocontinuetheseeventsinthefuture.The chapter has also hosted social events open to the whole department, to promote interactionbetweenresearchgroupsandpublicizeourorganization.
