The September 2022 Student Service Award has been awarded to undergraduate Nicholas “Nick” Branam. In addition to his role as Vice President of the UT chapter of the American Nuclear Society (ANS), Branam sits on the ANS 2023 Student Conference Logistics Committee.
“Nick has been an invaluable member of the Logistics Committee,” said the selection committee. “He has proven to be very reliable and enthusiastic, and has shown great leadership skills while working as part of the team. He has worked very hard to ensure that we will have a successful and memorable experience in 2023.”
Branam was honored to accept the award, but also quick to acknowledge his fellow ANS student leaders.
“Receiving this award was surprising to me, but I am sincerely thankful for it,” he said. “I feel that there are so many people in our department who deserve this award. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the members of the conference planning committee for putting a lot of effort and time into making sure our conference is a success. I would also like to thank my fellow ANS officers. They are great leaders, and it is an honor to serve our members with them. I look forward to continuing my service to the department, along with the amazing people in it.”
