Please welcome the new Interim Director of Iowa NASA EPSCoR, Dr. Sara Nelson! She brings expertise from her work as Assistant Director for Education & Outreach with the Iowa Space Grant Consortium, as well as years as a faculty member of the School of Education. With STEM research, and work with Iowa State Extension in Youth and 4-H, Dr. Nelson will push Iowa NASA EPSCoR forward with her drive for STEM excellence at all levels.

As we welcome Sara, we also bid a fond farewell and a big GOOD LUCK to Tomas Gonzalez-Torres, who has taken a position back with NASA as the Space Grant Project Manager. Tomas will be greatly missed, and we appreciate all of his great effort with the EPSCoR program! Best of luck in your new career!
