UAH Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Leadership Breakfast

“Dreaming Beyond Boundaries: Connecting Leadership, Innovation, and Space Exploration”

The UAH Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Leadership breakfast will connect Dr. King’s legacy and the idea of expanding what is possible with NASA Marshall Space Flight Center’s work in advanced propulsion, habitats, and advanced manufacturing—and how those technologies collectively enable humanity’s next steps in space. This year’s panel will feature three UAH alumni who are also leaders at NASA Marshall.
