Nominate a Young Professional for the Robert Lansing Hardy Award

Consider nominating a deserving professional under the age of 30 for the TMS Robert Lansing Hardy Award. This award recognizes an individual in the broad field of metallurgy or materials science for exceptional promise of a successful career, rather than for any specific accomplishment. The nominee does not need to be a member of TMS; however, you might consider nominating one of the TMS Young Leader Interns for this honor.

Deadline for all society-level award nominations is October 31, but it’s not too early to begin the nomination process.
