March 24, 2017 March 27: ºÚÁÏÉç Tri-Cities, DOE hosting new lecture series on Hanford
RICHLAND, Wash. – Washington State University Tri-Cities is partnering with the U.S. Department of Energy to host a new lecture series focusing on the Hanford Site and the DOE’s current and future missions at the site.
The kick-off lecture covers the history of Hanford and begins at 3 p.m. March 27 in West Building room 256 at ºÚÁÏÉç Tri-Cities. Students, faculty and the community are welcome for the presentation.
As a large percentage of the current workforce becomes eligible for retirement in the next five years, the DOE and its contractors are actively recruiting interns and staff in a broad scope of professional and technical jobs. Linking DOE operations with faculty, students, and the community, this series focuses on opportunities and key challenges to be solved by today’s and tomorrow’s workers.
Carrie Meyer, director of public affairs for the DOE’s Office of River Protection, will present during the first lecture on March 27. She joined the Office of River Protection in 2007 and has 23 years of experience in communications, marketing, information management and public affairs in government, engineering and nuclear power industries. She has completed assignments for the assistant secretary of energy for environmental management and the secretary of energy, focusing on congressional interactions, policy, tribal nation engagement and communications.
The lecture on March 27 will be broadcast live at ºÚÁÏÉç Pullman, ºÚÁÏÉç Vancouver, ºÚÁÏÉç North Puget Sound at Everett and ºÚÁÏÉç Spokane via the campus AMS video streaming service.
