An engineer with GE Steam Power in Elbląg, a city on the Baltic Sea in Poland, Kozłów was one of the volunteers who greeted them.

They’d had little time to prepare for their journey and no idea when they might be able to return home.

Before Elizabeth Ivy Johnson interned at NASA’s High School Apprenticeship Research Program, at Florida International University (FIU) in Miami, the summer before her senior year in high school, she never had dreamed of becoming an engineer.

Community Healing: This Team Of Medical Students Is Learning How To Make Primary Care Cool Again
In 2004, Jaquelin Solis had only been in the United States for a few months when her father broke his wrist. As Spanish-speaking Peruvian immigrants, her parents hesitated to seek medical treatment. “They felt embarrassed by the fact that they were not able to communicate, and because they thought they would be a burden to the doctor,” remembers Solis, who was 10 at the time.
