An Inside Look

What students are saying about us...

  • "The Union has absolutely affected my student life for the better. Between classes, I go there to do homework, catch up with friends, get some food, or play ping-pong. I love the expansive design of the main lobby with a three-story atrium."

    • Rajan Khanna
      Aerospace Engineering
  • "I joined the Honors Program because I wanted to be the best of the best. This decision started a chain of opportunities, projects, and leadership roles, all of them bigger and better than I could have ever imagined."

    • Maggie Gallant
      Engineering Physics
  • "I operated the SARA ground-based telescope remotely through the astrophysics lab on campus. Alone in the lab at two o’clock in the morning, I felt inspired and awed by the work that I was doing."

    • Patrice Majewski
      Space Physics
  • "For each of the four launches, all the interns met at the top of LC-39A to watch liftoff. It was pretty wild standing on the pad where Apollo 11 launched to watch the completion of a mission that we all played a role in."
