Elliott: Football isn't rocket science, but Stags' Alessandro Maiuolo is getting his kicks Alessandro Maiuolo is a senior kicker for Claremont-Mudd-Scripps. He also is essentially a rocket scientist. He doesn't plan on pursuing either as a career.

MUDD MAGAZINE: Our fall/winter cover story is about Rafael Alvarez ’86 (engineering), director of the San Diego City College Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) program. He believes every student is a contender in the fight for college success. Alvarez is author of a new book that deconstructs and demystifies college learning culture. “This is truly more than just the idea of something, it’s a roadmap to something. This effort is a personal mission to fight for the success of students." https://magazine.hmc.edu/fall-winter-2021/the-corner-man/

“I’m really interested in making rocketry a permanent fixture at Mudd — because one of the big problems with Mudd is that we all have a lot of work to do, and the club will go through phases where there are a lot of people who are very interested, and then they'll graduate without passing on the experience to another year of people, so the club dies. The big organizational changes MARC is making are structured on making MARC a permanent thing that happens every year. These smaller rockets are a fixture that students work on every year, but we also have an advanced team rocket, and we want to build a big rocket every year to submit to a competition.
Building a rocket is definitely not something that takes a lot of time — that's one of things I want to stress. You don't need any prior experience, and building one of these takes about five hours over two or three sessions. You can do that whenever you want during the semester, and there are lots of people here to help you.
We try to make rocketry something that's very accessible to people. It's always great to see lots of people here who have never considered that they might work on a rocket before. It's a very communal effort, and at the end of it, students have a project that they can launch and take ownership of, and it's really quite an exciting experience.
I think rockets are cool. If there are people who think rockets are cool, and they want to talk about space or whatever, we're in the Makerspace every Sunday at 5:30, and I invite anyone who's interested to stop by.”
