The Colorado State University (CSU) Student Branch of the Health Physics Society has had a very busy end of semester!

Students were able to participate in the Central Rocky Mountain Chapter meeting on 5 December where National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) President (and CSU alum) Dr. Kathy Higley presented on the NCRP. Higley also gave an exceptional presentation at CSU on Friday, 6 December, on radioecology. On 10 December, CSU students were invited to join in an exercise with the Wyoming Civil Support Team (CST). The training exercise involved the CSU Radiation Safety Office and Wyoming CST. The students were able to tour the facilities and also observe the capabilities of the CST.
