 My name is Destiny White and I am a junior in nuclear engineering. I am a black engineer. My experience in nuclear engineering has been nothing short of stellar. I've met wonderful friends. The head of the school himself has worked directly with me in support of my minority initiative and I honestly would not trade my major for the world. Because nuclear is so small, it's very easy for students to know each other across classes and grade levels. So I have friends that are seniors, I've been involved in nuclear organizations since I was a freshman before I was even in the school and everyone has been so welcoming of me. The other nuclear student orgs such as American Nuclear Society, International Nuclear Materials Management have helped me with my student org and I'm very close with the presidents and leaders of those organizations so we can work together to help each other. The way I'm using my platform for change is I've created a new student organization called Minorities in Nuclear Engineering and Sciences in which we're going to work on minority recruitment and retention in engineering, particularly nuclear and related majors that can go into nuclear and spreading awareness about nuclear energy, policy and related issues to underserved and underrepresented communities. So because nuclear is kind of a smaller field, there is a lot of need for younger engineers to bring their perspectives in this day and age. So I have felt as I've gone through my nuclear career very wanted and important in any branch I've worked in, whether that's been my internship or just as a student. So I definitely would recommend, if you want a major where you're going to feel like you can have an impact and it doesn't matter how old you are, how experienced you are, just your interest is enough, I would definitely recommend nuclear.
