Christopher
Meehan of Golden, Colorado has become the
first recipient of the newly established, Elaine Hansen COSGC/NASA Summer
Internship Award. Mr.
Meehan is currently a Junior in the Engineering Physics (BS) and Electrical
Engineering Systems (MA) programs at Colorado School of Mines. He will
receive a summer position at a 10-week internship at either the NASA Academy
or the Goddard Space Flight Center Student Internship Program. The award
includes roundtrip airfare, room and board, and a stipend.
The Summer Internship Award is a new
initiative of COSGC. Students participating in COSGC programs at affiliated
campuses compete for the position. Applicants are judged on their
leadership experiences, academic performance, and work on prior COSGC space
projects. The internship is a chance for students to work side-by-side with
NASA scientists and engineers, while becoming familiar with the Nation’s
Space Program and gaining valuable research experience. The award is named
for Elaine Hansen, the first director of COSGC.
