Outreach Committee
Mission Statement
The NASA Academy Outreach Committee will strive make all students in U.S. colleges and universities aware of the NASA Academy and the opportunities to be had from participating in it. The Outreach Committee will strive to provide peer-career mentoring for NASA Academy research associates through the NAAA. In addition to connecting current associates to alumni, the Outreach Committee will develop ties with the various Space Grant Consortia (SGC). With these aims, the Outreach Committee will serve the role of providing career advice and funding to potential and current research associates with the NASA Academy.
