Making Success, and Giving, and Seem Natural

As a student at the University of Maryland in the ’90s, Chris Jones (Ph.D. ’97) was anything but average. He was already a captain in the U.S. Air Force with hundreds of hours logged on foreign ballistic missile and space systems. He had two graduate degrees, one in aerospace engineering and one in engineering management. He was one of just a handful of Black aerospace engineering doctoral candidates in the U.S. (UMD Engineering News)

Support the Center for Minorities in Science and Engineering

The CMSE staff and the students they help would appreciate the support. Giving back can be in many forms from monetary contributions to volunteering.
