Berkeley Lab’s collaboration, internship, and outreach programs thrive for one simple reason: our incredible staff. Initiatives like the A-LIFT program are highly successful because of dedicated staff members like Hannah, who generously volunteer their time to mentor students both locally in the Bay Area and across the country.

In April, Berkeley Lab came together to celebrate the exceptional individuals who have contributed numerous hours of service to our pre-college and higher education programs. Hannah’s unwavering commitment through the A-LIFT program is instrumental in shaping, guiding, and inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders.

Please join us in congratulating Hannah and all of this year’s outstanding A-LIFT mentors and volunteers.
