The Illinois Space Society sponsored the trips of 17 AE students to the Goddard Symposium, held March 10-12 at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
While there, the students interacted with high-ranking aerospace industry executives, including chief executive officers and directors of NASA centers. ISS has sponsored a contingent of AE students at the symposium for the past four years.
“Because of our regular attendance we have made a great impression of the University of Illinois on the industry,” said ISS Director Nick Kopp. “Every student who attended made some great contacts within the industry, contacts that often result in summer job opportunities.”
The students also toured the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and viewed flight hardware of new NASA missions.
