NASA Selects OCTC Student for Scholars Program

I'd imagine, for an intelligent guy like Kiean Washington, the sky has always been the limit.

That's never been more literally correct than right now.

Eyewitness News/WEHT reports that Washington, a student at Owensboro Community and Technical College, will be headed to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida next month to participate in a scholars program.

Kiean, who saw a poster on a wall on campus ABOUT the program, was selected for the NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars program which will run from June 24th through the 28th.

It's a program for STEM students (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) who are interested in pursuing careers with NASA or in a NASA-related field.

We offer HUGE congratulations to Kiean, who excelled in OCTC's Tech X program and plans to major in physics at Western Kentucky Universirty, for this exciting opportunity.
