Good morning!

 

My name is Alex Gladney-Lemon and I am recruiting on behalf of NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars (NCAS) at Johnson Space Center.  Last semester you provided a recommendation letter to a student that applied to NCAS. Please share this information with you current students, there is a flyer attached as well.

 

Know of a community college student who dreams of having a Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) career? NCAS gives community college STEM students an authentic NASA experience with encouragement to finish a 2-year degree or transfer to a 4-year university to pursue a NASA-related field or career.
