Maggie and fellow classmates recently returned from Paris to present their research findings at an international symposium. “I am honored to have received this NASA Research Fellowship to support the research I will be conducting later this year. I am excited to learn from this wonderful opportunity and to further my research experience here at Wheeling Jesuit University.” Childers shared.
