4/25/2019

University Park, Pa. — Nicholas A. Grenci will be the student marshal for the nuclear engineering baccalaureate degree program at the Penn State College of Engineering spring commencement ceremony on May 3. Grenci will graduate with two degrees, a bachelor of science in nuclear engineering and a bachelor of science in mechanical engineering. He will also receive a minor in engineering mechanics.

He has chosen William Walters, assistant professor of nuclear engineering, to be his faculty escort.

College of Engineering student marshals are selected for their outstanding academic achievement and contributions to engineering student life.

Grenci is the son of Brenda and Anthony Grenci of Butler and is a 2015 graduate of Butler Area High School.

He was the recipient of the John J. Brennan Excellence in Nuclear Engineering Award and the Edward H. and Deborah R. Klevans Scholarship in Nuclear Engineering.

Grenci completed an internship at Sierra Nevada Corporation, where he served as a mechanical engineer intern tasked with executing engineering change orders as part of the aircraft structures team.

His extracurricular activities included Tau Phi Delta (treasurer, 2017-19; academic chair, 2016), intramural floor hockey (2016-17), intramural softball (2015), and intramural flag football (2015).

Following graduation, Grenci will pursue a graduate degree in nuclear engineering at Penn State.

About

The Ken and Mary Alice Lindquist Department of Nuclear Engineering at Penn State is one of the top ranked nuclear engineering programs in the United States. The department distinguishes itself with a strong focus on experimental research. The actively growing department leads four educational programs for students pursuing a bachelor of science, a master of science, a master of engineering, or a doctoral degree. The Radiation Science and Engineering Center (RSEC) facilities, including the Breazeale Reactor, are available to nuclear engineering faculty and students at Penn State for research and instruction. RSEC houses the Breazeale Nuclear Reactor, the country’s first and longest operating licensed nuclear research reactor. Having access to an operating research reactor is a key strength for the department and enables Penn State to harness research and educational opportunities that are unique in the United States.
