2008 Student Symposium
Each year in August, a Student Symposium is held to allow students to display the research they have been part of during their time at the Laboratory. This year's symposium was held at the University of New Mexico, Los Alamos. "Championing Scientific Careers" was the theme. The symposium included poster presentations and technical talks.

Tour of Magnet Lab
Tours of many Laboratory facilities were offered to students last summer, including a visit to the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. Students learned about magnetic fields, inertial storage, motor-generators for high field pulsed magnets, and capacitator-driven pulsed magnets. Other facilities students were able to tour included RAVE, Roadrunner and the Network Operations Center, DARHT, and LANSCE.
