Using Math to Reach the Stars Logan Price’s dedication and interest in space, stemming from a NASA Space Camp she attended as a child, has earned her a stellar internship with Northrop Grumman. “When applying to colleges, I knew I wanted to study astrophysics. That was kind of a no-brainer for me because astrophysics is everything I find fascinating bundled up into one field,” she said. On top of Astronomy & Astrophysics, Price added a second degree path to her plan — Computational Mathematics. Her studies will serve her well in her upcoming internship with Northrop Grumman, working within the space sector on ground- based ballistics and atmospheric sciences. After graduation, she hopes to participate in research in the astrophysical realm. “Just thinking about my future and how successful I can be if I just work hard now motivates me to keep working in the industry.”
Serving at the Forefront As an active-duty service member in the U.S. Army, Matthew Sperandio is not only dedicated to his duties in maintaining turbine engines for helicopters but also holds a profound passion for aviation and safety. His military experience and pursuit of a B.S. in Safety Management from the Worldwide Campus have launched him further into the industry, providing not just a career path but a sense of purpose and fulfillment. “Embry-Riddle offers great flexibility in scheduling classes. This is helpful when you work full-time or are deployed overseas,” he said. The flexibility of his program, tailored to accommodate military commitments and global endeavors, provides a platform for academic growth amidst the demands of military service and overseas deployments.
