Each meeting will have a pre-determined topic aimed at making sure the student is receiving the necessary support and taking the right steps, to accomplish their goal of transferring to a four-year college. After screening and training each coach, Point will facilitate an introduction to the community college scholarship recipient and facilitate three to four virtual meetings with the coach and student at strategic times throughout the academic year. Coaches will be selected from a pool of caring LGBTQ individuals who have successfully navigated the admissions process and subsequently graduated from a four-year college. Point will match each community college scholarship recipient with a coach. Workshops will focus on topics such as: crafting a personal statement, building a resume, navigating financial aid and picking the right school for you. Students will attend workshops and presentations to better understand the transfer process, build knowledge and connect with the scholarship recipient class.

It looked fine, but he also had access to secret spy satellites from the Cold War that he knew had better data. At some point he was assigned to do the weather for the Apollo 11 mission, specifically the splashdown phase … It’s really important as it comes down through the atmosphere it doesn’t encounter a big storm … and so he was in charge of making sure the landing site was OK. He actually, in some sense, saved the lives of the Apollo 11 astronauts. He was very involved in Apollo 11 in a really big way. On her grandfather working with Apollo 11: Just as I’m getting ready to show my title slide I hear this beeping as his chair is rolling in. I knew that there was a possibility he would be there. I’m scared but I will do this.” The reason I was scared is because this is the lunch Stephen Hawking goes to. They were like, “yeah, come give a lecture during the cosmology lunch.” So I’m like, “OK I guess I can do this. On having Stephen Hawking attend her lecture: Katie Mack poses with the man who inspired her to become a cosmologist - Stephen Hawking. Then once you’re there, everybody’s used to being at the top … I was used to getting straight A’s. One of the things that happens at a place like Caltech is you have to be within the top 10 percent of your class, usually much higher, to get into Caltech. On the challenge of undergrad at California Institute of Technology: I wanted that feeling of connection … I found the practice very meaningful, but I never got the faith. I didn’t have a feeling of connection with the divine. It comes back to the scientific view point maybe. I had a lot of trouble believing in anything that I didn’t have strong evidence for. If the universe is expanding forever and constantly accelerating in its expansion, which is what looks like will happen, the universe comes to an end in the sense that everything in the universe decays and dies. It doesn’t have to end by it all collapsing again. There are other ways for the universe to end. On how the universe probably won’t end with the big crunch theory:
Note: This segment originally aired July 9, 2018. Host Frank Stasio talks with Katie Mack, well-known on Twitter as about black holes, dark matter and whether aliens exist. She is currently writing a book exploring theories about how the universe may end. Mack continued on with her study of science, and now is a professor in the physics department at North Carolina State University, where she focuses on understanding the universe from beginning to end. She spent time in theology school and always hoped to find faith but eventually realized that route was not quite the one for her. Mack also sought answers to life’s biggest questions through religious practice. She also followed in the footsteps of her own grandfather, who had worked on the Apollo 11 mission and attended Caltech. Mack met Stephen Hawking, who inspired her to become a cosmologist. But she eventually took that curiosity to the next level, and her childhood fascination led to a career in astrophysics. As a young child, Katie Mack did that too. They stare up at the stars and wonder how the universe functions. Many kids take things apart to figure out how they work.
