Student Spotlight: Elijah Emory



For senior Astronautical Engineering major Elijah Emory, learning about space came as naturally as learning how to walk. As a child, he reveled in watching the skies and soaking up the wonder of the cosmos, dreaming of ways to get closer to the edge of the universe.
