The new treasurer of the AIAA is Julian Robles! He is a sophomore here at WPI, majoring in Aerospace Engineering. Outside of the AIAA, Julian is also a member of the varsity wrestling team. He loves spending time with friends and family, hiking, and going on long drives to nowhere. As treasurer, Julian is really looking forward to doing whatever he can to help the AIAA succeed and expand. He’s looking forward to seeing new faces and making more memories!

Meet the man behind the posts you know and love, AIAA’s new Public Relations Officer, Logan Frandsen! Logan is a sophomore studying Aerospace engineering on the astronautical track. AIAA was the first club he joined in his freshman year and he’s loved it ever since. He was able to touch a Falcon 9 that had successfully landed from launch and has dreamed of playing a part in launching more rockets ever since. When he gets the chance, Logan loves to watch anime, play video games, and play Dungeons and Dragons.

The new Secretary of the AIAA is Paul Coccomo! Paul is a sophomore here at WPI and is majoring in aerospace engineering on the astronautical track. Paul has been a part of the AIAA since the start of his freshman year. One day, Paul hopes to work for NASA and help put people back on the Moon. In his free time, Paul enjoys using his telescope to look at the planets, 3D printing, listening to all kinds of music and painting.

Our new Vice-Chair Connor Miholovich loves being outdoors almost as much as he loves thrust vectoring systems. He is a junior year student here at WPI and has future goals on working as a propulsions engineer. Connor is majoring in Aerospace Engineering under the astronautical track and is currently the UAV club lead. He loves snowboarding, rock climbing, drone racing, and mountain biking!

WPI's AIAA Chapter has a new Chair! Kirsten Bowers has been involved with the AIAA since her freshman year. She is a junior aerospace engineering major with an electrical engineering minor. She is currently also Captain of the High Power Rocketry Club (HPRC), Vice-Chair of Women of Aeronautics and Astronautics (WoAA), Co-Chair of Model Rocketry, and a member of the aerospace honor society Sigma Gamma Tau (SGT). In her free time, she loves to adventure with friends - especially hiking, obsess over corgis, and craft! A fun fact about her is that she saw the last launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery, which inspired her to become an aerospace engineer! She is super excited to lead a club very close to her heart for the next year!

With the recent revamp of our website, we now have our own Wiki! We're hoping to turn this into a useful learning resource for new members. Anyone is welcome to contribute. If you're an alumni, we're also looking to record some of the WPI AIAA's history.
