Argonne employs over 160 veterans in various departments and roles throughout the lab who contribute to the mission and diversity of our world-class community of talent.
Many veteran employees are a part of the laboratory’s Veteran’s Employee Resource Group (ERG), a group created to connect veterans and other Argonne supporters to serve the community, create on-site awareness and support veterans’ needs as they work to contribute to Argonne’s mission. Built from veteran friendships, this ERG hosts events, service opportunities, and meetings to expand the sense of comradery familiar to veterans.
This Veteran’s Day, the ERG created a video highlighting several Argonne colleagues who previously served the US Armed Forces to celebrate not only their service, but to remind the lab community of the sacrifices that have been made by others to ensure our freedom to experiment as scientists and a society.
As laboratory director, Paul Kearns, recently noted in a memo to colleagues, “Their service and sacrifices parallel our mission’s dedication to American security and prosperity. Our veterans contribute to the diversity of our lab, and we would be a lesser institution without them.”
