Ms. Bowman has worked for over 15 years as the Mission Operations Manager at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. In her role, she currently supervises five in-flight spacecraft, one of which includes the New Horizons Spacecraft that passed by Pluto on July 14, 2005.

Fall GBM #1

October 10 · 4:00PM-5:00 PM · EBU 2 Rm. 479

We will be having our first GBM of the year where we will provide an overview of what AIAA is, the opportunities available through AIAA, and how to get involved. In addition, three different project teams will be presenting their projects to recruit new members and answer any questions that you might have. This is a great opportunity to get involved and start your aerospace experience at UCSD! The experiences you will gain through AIAA are exactly what real industry recruiters are looking for! The GBM will take place on Tuesday Oct 10th, 4:00PM-5:30pm in EBU 2 Room 584. We hope to see you there!
