Dr. Ellen Stofan, Chief Scientist of NASA, visited with St. Catherine’s students, faculty and staff today.
She started the day with a presentation to Upper School students and then visited a variety of classrooms in all three divisions – engaging with students and answering their questions about her work with NASA, reversing climate change and even her favorite volcano (Mt. Etna in Sicily, Italy).
A William & Mary alumna, Dr. Stofan serves as principal advisor to NASA Administrator Charles Bolden on the agency’s science programs, planning and investments.
