NPRE INTERCHANGE

NPRE Interchange, an event on the University of Illinois campus the Friday of Homecoming weekend, has a two-fold purpose:

  • To give NPRE ILLINOIS students a chance to network with the guests about industries, national laboratories and regulatory agencies that focus on nuclear power, plasma engineering, and radiological technologies;
  • To acquaint alumni with students available for internships and/or permanent positions.

The event’s title signifies the goal of groups meeting and exchanging information before going on their ways.

NPRE ILLINOIS alumni are encouraged to participate as representatives for their companies and organizations.
