The University of Saskatchewan invites media to attend the 2014 CJ Mackenzie Gala with Charles Till, a U of S alumni who was the longtime Associate Laboratory Director for Engineering Research at Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne) in Illinois. The program at Argonne is the largest center of international nuclear power research and development in the United States. Till will give a lecture entitled Developing nuclear power: A life in full touching on his story about how the University of Saskatchewan gave a boy from rural Saskatchewan the foundation for an exciting life of accomplishment in nuclear research.
