jtTalks Presentations

jtTalks is an annual outreach event held at Jim Thorpe Area High School to bring alumni back to talk to high school students about college and career options. Alumni give talks, participate in panels, and discuss with the students about their personal and professional passions and paths. I help to organize the event and participate yearly to engage students interested in nuclear and materials science/engineering.
