The June/July issue of the ACerS Bulletin is a wonderful opportunity to showcase a handful of the accomplishments of the President’s Council of Student Advisors (PCSA). PCSA is an avenue to engage students as long-term Society leaders and to encourage diversity in the ceramic and glass community.

This issue focuses on the topic of clean energy and includes articles written by PCSA delegates on their work on cutting-edge ceramics research—including ceramics for nuclear applications, lead-free piezoelectric ceramics, ceramic oxygen transport membranes, solid oxide fuel cells, and semiconductor materials. PCSA students and other students across the nation also are engaged in world-changing efforts outside of the lab, including K–12 STEM outreach and community volunteer work to promote ceramic science and engineering.
