The EC wanted to send out a quick reminder to continue spreading the word about the opening of the 2012 Academy Application. We encourage you to post the attach flyer to message boards at your local university, send the following message to your space networks and/or inform the EC of interested student groups for a possible Skype meeting introducing them to the program. All we ask is that you provide us with the organization you sent the message out too so we can compile a list for future EC's. Thanks for your help! E-mail message to be sent with flyer "The 2012 NASA Academy Application is now open! The Academies are intensive educational programs which emphasize group activities, teamwork, research, leadership and creativity. The curriculum balances direct contact with science and engineering R&D with an awareness of the managerial, political, financial, social and human issues faced by aerospace professionals. Included are seminars, informal discussions, evening lectures, supervised research, visits to other NASA Centers and facilities, group project/s, tours, posters/presentations, and assessment. Additionally, most weekends are filled with group activities, team building and off-site trips. One free weekend is scheduled. The Academy is not a 9-5 summer research internship program. It is a rigorous, immersive experience that will challenge you and push you outside of your comfort zones. It offers participants an intense learning experience that is either Space- or Aeronautics-based. All academy students will be immersed in a NASA environment where they will experience the agency from both inside and outside perspectives. Additionally, added interaction with NASA collaborators in industry and academia will provide unique, exciting and unforgettable summer experience designed to engage and capture students within the NASA family. The Academies have separate focus areas: Space/Aerospace (NASA Academy), Robotics, Aeronautics, Lunar and Planetary Science, and Propulsion. The deadline is January 23, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. EST. You may access it at http://AcademyApp.com<http://academyapp.com/> This application serves the following programs: * The NASA Academy at Ames Research Center (Mountain View, CA) * The NASA Academy at Glenn Research Center (Cleveland, OH) * The NASA Academy at Marshall Space Flight Center (Huntsville, AL) * The NASA Aeronautics Academy at Ames Research Center (Mountain View, CA) * The NASA Aeronautics Academy at Dryden Flight Research Center (Edwards AFB, CA) * The NASA Aeronautics Academy at Glenn Research Center (Cleveland, OH) * The NASA Aeronautics Academy at Langley Research Center (Hampton, VA) * The NASA Lunar and Planetary Science Academy at Goddard Space Flight (Greenbelt, MD) * The NASA Propulsion Academy at Marshall Space Flight Center (Huntsville, AL) * The NASA Robotics Academy at Marshall Space Flight Center (Huntsville, AL) You are receiving this email because you asked to be informed of other opportunities in the APL application system (APLapp.com) or the NASA Academy Application System (AcademyApp.com).
