A winning couple
DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Brian and Vicky D'Urso are the first married couple to come to ORNL as Wigner Fellows. Neither was recruited by the Laboratory. As simple as it sounds, the graduates of the California Institute of Technology found information about ORNL and the Wigner Fellowship program on the Internet.

The critical difference
DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory
The ORNL Review asked two important questions of some current and former Wigner Fellows. The questions were: "What do you think of the Wigner Fellowship program?" and "What is your impression of ORNL as a place to do research?" The answers are revealing.

Still making a mark
DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory
One is A. Baha Balantekin, who came to Oak Ridge as a Wigner Fellow in 1984-86 and now, somewhat ironically, holds the Wigner Chair at the University of Wisconsin, where the Nobel Laureate Eugene P. Wigner was once a professor.

Filling the talent pipeline
DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory
As head of Ph.D. recruiting at ORNL in 1975, Dan Robbins had a message for Herman Postma, the new ORNL director. Robbins, Chuck Coutant, and other Laboratory scientists had been visiting outstanding research universities to interview the most impressive graduate students in science and engineering. Their challenge was an inability to offer jobs to the most promising students.
