Students Planning to Attend 2008 AAS National Conference
Only two weeks remain until the 2008 American Astronautical Society National Conference and 55th Annual Meeting, November 17-19 in Pasadena, California. Registration is open at astronautical.org/conference.
We extend a special invitation to students to attend. Space industry conferences are largely dominated by the more experienced constituents in the industry. Rather than seeing this as a disadvantage, we encourage students to use this as a tactical advantage in networking. So we’ve invited Matt Cruce, an undergraduate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign who has led teams of students to past AAS events and will be leading another group to the National Conference in Pasadena, to describe his experiences.
