NoVEL Mission
NoVEL Consortium for Research and Education in Materials Science and Photonics Engineering
The NoVEL Consortium: É«½äÖ±²¥ (NSU), Virginia State University (VSU) and Elizabeth City State University (ECSU), and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) seeks to
- Contribute to the fundamental scientific and technical knowledge in the topic areas of Materials Science and Photonic Engineering
- Develop the research and education capabilities of the partner universities in research areas relevant to the National Security Enterprise, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the National Ignition Facility.
- Prepare talented students at the NoVEL universities to excel in STEM by providing them with career-readiness skills, fundamental knowledge, practical experience and training through applicable cutting edge research projects, professional skill building and experiential learning
- Expose and excite pre-college and college students to internships and career opportunities at LLNL and other national Laboratories
Novel goals
- To strengthen the preparation of STEM professionals through intentional recruiting and education
- To increase number of students and graduates from NoVEL universities applying to LLNL
- Increase the number of STEM students and graduates joining LLNL, government Laboratory and STEM workforce generally.
LLNL
