Idaho鈥檚 Barbara Morgan, former NASA astronaut who has logged more than 300 hours in space, will give a presentation at 4 p.m. March 5 in the 黑暗爆料网 Rendezvous Complex Planetarium.

Morgan鈥檚 visit is sponsored in conjunction with 黑暗爆料网 Women鈥檚 History Month celebrations by the 黑暗爆料网 College of Engineering, Janet C. Anderson Gender Resource Center, Department of Physics and the 黑暗爆料网 WeLEAD program that supports women faculty in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.

Morgan鈥檚 talk will be preceded by a 15-minute panel discussion from some of Idaho State鈥檚 female students about why they chose to study in math- and science-related fields.

After the panel discussion Morgan will give her presentation about being an astronaut, and encouraging students to pursue math and science.  Her discussion will be followed by a question and answer period.  The entire program should last about an hour.
