Impressive Student Research
On Thursday, August 3rd, Sandia/CA hosted this summer’s intern symposium where 53 interns made oral and/or poster presentations showcasing their findings from research conducted during their internship. Sandians and recruiters from several universities attended the event and came away impressed with the high caliber of students Sandia is attracting.

The symposium brings together interns, mentors, members of Sandia’s technical staff, management, and representatives from academia for the purpose of highlighting the engineering and science-based solutions to problems affecting the security of our nation.

See the local paper report on the event.
