Eight students in the Elliott School’s Space Policy Institute, a world leader in research, graduate study, and informed discussion related to issues of science, technology, and public policy, received awards from Axiom Space Fellows, GPS Innovation Alliance Space Fellows and Amazon Web Services Space Fellows. These students have diverse educational backgrounds and professional experience with organizations like NASA, the U.S. State Department and various consulting firms. They are poised to combine that with what they learn in the classroom so they can create policy to break barriers in innovation, exploration and discovery both in and beyond our world.
