Mars Rover Watch Party
ARCS is a story
…of revolutionary convergence of multiple, unrelated disciplines
…of scientific discoveries that bring mostly divergent trails together
…of trailblazing researchers who utilize this convergence to conceive, design, implement, and operate systems, processes, and products that overcome the greatest humanitarian, medical, environmental challenges in the coming century.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
Angelina Geisen
Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE)
Congratulations to Angelina Geisen for her acceptance into the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) where she plans to extend her knowledge in Human Development and Education. As she transferred from community college to CSUN during the pandemic, she found a home in ARCS where she worked on drones and the aerospace project. After grad school, she plans to become a professor and a nonprofit educational system researcher to help those who do not have access to educational resources. Her main objective is to bring people up who do not have representation in STEAHM. Angelina’s favorite memory with ARCS is community game nights, where she was able to laugh and connect over games.
ARCS Students Internship Experience
Since 2020, a total of 17 CSUN students have had ARCS facilitated internships with NASA(JPL, Ames, Armstrong, and Langley)!
Their time as interns brought them many valuable lessons and skills.
“It has been an incredible firsthand experience in which I was able to strengthen my communication skills (both virtually and in-person), data organization, and presenting my work in a professional/formal way.”
