Inaugural National Lab Trip for Students in LLE’s Undergraduate Education Program

Sixteen students in LLE’s Undergraduate Education Program visited Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories as part of LLE’s inaugural National Nuclear Security Administration workforce-building National Lab Trip. This unique opportunity, which was packed with exciting demonstrations, activities, and tours at each facility, “was a dream come true for the LLE, for our Undergraduate Education Program, and for me,” says Laura Kappy, who runs the program. “We are so grateful to the staff at LLNL, LANL, and SNL for making this trip possible. It far exceeded our wildest expectations. To all of our undergraduate students—we look forward to knowing you well into the future!”
