The Missouri Space Grant Consortium (MOSGC) has identified the recruiting and training of students at NASA Centers and Academies as a top priority. Over the last four years the MOSGC has recruited and funded 22 students in this capacity. We asked some of the students to share their experience, excitement, and describe some of the activities that they were involved in their programs in several NASA Research Centers and Academies around the country. We hope that you will find these student articles informative and enjoyable as well.
