TSGC | Design CHALLENGE - Success Stories: TSGC Design CHALLENGE Alumni

[PLEASE COMPLETE AND SUBMIT ELECTRONICALLY]

Dear TSGC Design Challenge Alumni:
It was a pleasure working with you and your team as you participated in the Design Challenge Program. Of course, it's always nice to hear what you've been up to since "moving on" . . so I hope you'll take a few moments to let me know where you ended up.

This effort is part of a larger effort initiated by TSGC to compile the Success Stories of all students who have participated and benefited by a level of involvement with Texas Space Grant - - so feel free to come back later and submit an update.

What is a Success Story? Well, basically it's just an update on what you've been doing since graduation and can include your accomplishments or adventures both large and small. You don't have to have risen to the level of a CEO to count as a "success;" - - if you trekked the Canadian Rockies or landed a job or are applying to Graduate School - those are examples of "success" as well.

Once collected, TSGC plans to compile a booklet to highlight the large and small accomplishments of its program participants to distribute to Members of Congress and NASA Headquarters Staff as a way of showcasing the impact of programs like Space Grant on its participants.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Best regards,
Debbie
