This year the Eisenhower Institute Undergraduate Fellowship Program in studying the past, present and future of United States Space Policy. This four-part series will feature a panel discussion on the militarization of space.
Learn about how it plays a role in your day-to-day life, the space race, the origin of GPS, reconnaissance satellites, and the weaponization of space.
The Militarization of Space panel has been organized by EI Undergraduate Fellows, Emily Costley '14 and Jessica Jozwik '14.
The EI Undergraduate Fellows program offers a select group of Gettysburg College students the chance to develop their leadership skills and grow in their knowledge and understanding of public policy. Fellows serve on the Eisenhower Institute's College Advisory Council, act as liaisons for assigned Institute events at both locations, and serve as hosts for campus visitors. Students engage fully in the planning and promotion of specific programs and projects. They are responsible for selecting, developing, and promoting a public policy theme with programming in both Washington and in Gettysburg.
