Zhen Song

A Student Helping Students

Zhen Song, a student from Fredericksburg, Virigina, won the grand prize — up to $3,999 in expenses for a five-night vacation — and took her family to California for Christmas. She heard about the annual drawing while attending an affiliate conference in Virginia and entered to support her fellow students. “I love the diverse technologies and many types of equipment we learn in this profession. The ASRT’s resources help students prepare for the certification exam, provide ways to learn other modalities and network with peers,” Zhen said.


Nancy Fagan

Professional Dedication

Nancy Fagan, used the $500 from her second prize winnings to help pay for a beach trip. Nancy has worked in medical imaging for 34 years and been a medical dosimetrist at the same cancer center for 26 years. She’s always striving to learn more and help others do the same. “The Foundation is very supportive of the profession, especially in helping students,” Nancy said. “I entered the drawing, as I have in the past, to contribute to education scholarships for students.”
