Tolkien1 framed by identity-trajectorytheory to explore the pathway to receiving a PhD2. At the start of the session, participants were asked tocreate a map of the PhD process keeping the following questions in mind: Who are the players and howdo they relate to each other?; What are the milestones?; and What are the events that impact theoutcomes?Using the participant-created maps as well as original analogy elements, this paper explores the elementsof identity

The OSTR is licensed to operate at a maximum of 1.1 MW of thermal energy.The licensed power level of the OSTR is sufficiently low such that forced cooling is notrequired; as a result, the reactor is cooled via natural convection [1]. The inherent design traits ofTRIGA® Reactors enable such facilities to function as fantastic educational tools for youngaspiring nuclear engineers and potential, future reactor operators.In addition
