We’re so proud of our student, James Killmeyer, for an incredible summer internship at NASA Glenn Research Center! 🚀

James spent the summer working on coatings for lunar dust mitigation and creating samples for the International Space Station. He also gained hands-on experience with specialized lab equipment and learned from an incredible team of mentors. What a great opportunity to grow his skills and prepare for his future in engineering!👏
