NASA USRP Develops Alumni Network Online Portal and Connects USRP Alumni with NASA
The NASA Undergraduate Student Research Project has recently developed an online network for past participants of the internship program to connect with NASA and learn about NASA career opportunities once they have completed a NASA internship.
“One of the motivating factors to getting the Alumni Network online is that this Summer and Fall NASA has initiated efforts to hire a number of fresh out graduates and it’s a really exciting opportunity to take advantage of the use of this tool to connect with USRP student interns that have already had a fantastic opportunity with NASA and would make great employees.” - Bryan Dansberry, NASA USRP Project Lead.
The USRP Alumni Network was developed and launched on July 28, 2009. The USRP Alumni network is designed to connect USRP interns with the NASA workforce. USRP Alumni will have the opportunity to upload an updated resume as well as other important information. The USRP Alumni network is also an excellent resource for past USRP interns to receive updates and information on NASA educational program opportunities and full time open positions at NASA. The Alumni network will serve USRP Alumni by enhancing the benefits of being a USRP intern beyond the internship experience. The Alumni Network will also serve the needs of NASA by directly connecting the valuable talent of USRP interns to NASA’s workforce needs.
