Dear alumni, friends and colleagues, “Not your father’s nuclear engineering department!” That quote, along the lines of an old car commercial, is from an alumnus I spoke with at Missouri S&T's alumni breakfast during the American Nuclear Society (ANS) summer conference. One of our current students told them about all the things that have changed in our department over the past two years, and I occasionally chimed in to add one thing or another. As the alumnus heard more about the changes since they graduated, they grew increasingly excited for our students.... |
